Srey Pov is currently studying Khmer, English, and computers as part of Voices for Change. She also interns with AFESIP's Outreach/HIV Prevention Team, spending time with women in the brothels and providing them with encouragement and support as well as condoms, personal hygiene lessons and sex education. Due to Srey Pov's position as a former victim and current survivor, she says that she knows how the victims feel and can therefore empathize with them; to her, this is the most important aspect of Voices for Change. She wants the world to know about the victims' feelings and encourage them, because these women and girls don't want to be victims. "If someone is a victim and nobody encourages her, she will be helpless," she says. In the future, Srey Pov hopes to continue to help women and girls affected by trafficking.
