60,000 women and minors are estimated by UNICEF to be victims of sex trafficking in the Philippines, with some as young as 7 years old. Rebecca Eu is on a mission to stop this. 
Rebecca, who has been volunteering in the Philippines since she was 20, has heard one too many stories of girls forced into this sex trade to help lift their families out of poverty. Today, her social enterprise Mei’s Own, is putting survivors of sex trafficking in the Philippines to school, by working with local artisans to make homeware. And meanwhile… WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT THE AGE OF 26? 😜😜😜
