Nicky Mih Opens Up About Her Experience Preventing Sex Trafficking in Cambodia

Eye-opening is the only way I can describe today’s episode. Nicky Mih, Managing Director of sex trafficking prevention organisation Free to Shine, holds nothing back as she takes us deep into her world working with vulnerable young girls in Cambodia.

Nicky shares intimate details about her experience working to protect girls who are most at risk to sex trafficking. She helps us get a feel for the dangers these girls and their families live every day, sharing stories that will give you a new found perspective on your life.

Nicky tells us about 8-year-old Kin and her Grandmother, who lived outside on a wooden bed, with only a black sheet of plastic wrapped around a tree providing some form of shelter. She talks about how this story inspired her to start building homes for these families. Today, Free to Shine has built a total of 19 homes.

Nicky explains that to keep vulnerable girls safe, they need to be in school. She tells us about how the girls sometimes struggle to stay in school, with hunger and thirst often forcing them to leave in search of food and clean water. Nicky also talks about the importance of giving back, in life and through business, before you’re ready. She encourages listeners to do what’s right and do what matters, and the rest will take care of itself. I think you’ll find this episode incredibly moving and inspiring.
