Sina Vann walks into her worst nightmare every day. For more than two years she was tortured and raped as a sex slave in Phnom Penh. She now goes back to the brothels to help sex slaves escape, and to provide health advice for those unable to break free. Last year, Free the Slaves gave Vann the Frederick Douglass award, bestowed to slavery survivors who go on to help others to freedom.

Every year, Free the Slaves gives out a series of Freedom Awards to outstanding figures in the anti-slavery movement.
