That’s what makes Lina’s mother so extraordinary. She risked her future and her livelihood to help her two daughters escape the brothel and enter the care of our Local Partner. She was determined to give her daughters a different life.
And there’s more. At the end of the wedding ceremony, Lina’s aunt (her mother’s sister) who was also in prostitution, and owns a brothel, approached our Local Partner. This aunt had been one of the critics who reprimanded Lina’s mother for letting her children leave the brothel, and giving up the income they would generate for her. But at that wedding, she saw the incredible future awaiting Lina, and the vibrant community surrounding the newly married couple. And for the first time ever, she asked if there was a way out for her daughter as well.
Yes there is. There is always a way out.
