Quotes from Somaly Mam

Put anger aside. It is not a solution. Patience and love is a solution. With compassion and action, together we can end slavery.

I don't feel like I can change the world. I don't even try. I only want to change this small life that I see standing in front of me, which is suffering.

I strongly believe that love is the answer and that it can mend even the deepest unseen wounds. Love can heal, love can console, love can strengthen, and yes, love can make change.

Love them. Save them. Give them opportunity.

Everyone can help, everyone can do one thing. Start by your heart: what you want.

Sometimes you can learn, even from a bad experience. By coping you become stronger. The pain does not go away, but it becomes manageable.
