Met
up with some of the girls Mickey rescued from a brothel last year and learned
their stories.
Maya grew up in Burma with her mother and father. When her father passed away Maya’s mother was forced to commute to the Thai border to find work. With the
family making so little money, Maya was unable to pay the fees for school. She
started traveling with her mother into Thailand to sell vegetables. One day
while in the market a woman came up to her mother and offered Maya work as a
waitress at a bar called Monkey Island. Her mother agreed to let Maya stay and
work with the woman. That was the last time Serey saw her mother. Many massage parlors and tourist bars, such as
Monkey Island double as brothels. Maya worked in the brothel for two years
before she got in touch with Mickey.
She
is now in a foster home and attending school.
