Sonia was once an innocent little girl with a bright future, but this was stripped from her when her mother died, leaving her father to remarry a woman who physically and verbally abused her. At only 13 years old, Sonia ran away and never looked back. Shortly after coming to a city in Southern Asia, she met a woman who took her in and kindly cared for her.

It wasn’t until it was too late that Sonia learned the bitter truth...the woman’s “love” for her was all a lie.

She had simply been waiting for the right time to sell Sonia into prostitution. Confused and devastated, Sonia’s life became a living hell.
After years, she lost all hope to escape and succumbed to accepting the fact that this would be her life. She was hopeful life would change when she met a man who proposed and married her, but her life after marriage simply turned into yet another shattered dream as her life in the sex trade continued.

Betrayal and hurt continued when she was sold to another brothel. After eight long months, Sonia finally escaped and met our Project Rescue team. She was ready to embrace freedom right away and unofficially began outreach work, going to her fellow “sisters” in the sex trade, offering them a way out through Project Rescue.

Sonia has brought over 40 prostituted women into our program.

Pray that Sonia is able to continue her work to help her sisters find hope!
