\nDirector, \u201cWells of Hope\u201d
\n\u201cWith this documentary, we want to give a voice to those who don't have one. We want to say, 'Let's open our eyes. This is a real drama.' We also want to show that there are brave women who risk their lives on the front lines to combat trafficking.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nCoordinator, \u201cWells of Hope\u201d Project
\n\u201cWe work a lot on prevention and on building awareness, because this phenomenon is still not very well-known in our countries. Our work among the poorest aims to give them a small ray of hope on their journeys.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
