    In societies in Cambodia and Thailand, an uneducated girl is very disgraceful, and the people do not care what happens to those girls. Families will sell their own children to pimps because their child is uneducated. Education for girls keeps them off the streets where they are likely to be trafficked. An educated girl is seen to be more worthy than one who is not, so the traffickers will not seek them because they might have more protection. Girls find it hard to stay in school because they cannot see the long term rewards I can have. They are overwhelmed with the pressure that they must provide for the family right away, so they drop out and find a job of any sort.
