Each recycled bag is made by a women's cooperative in Cambodia aimed at abolishing the horrors of human trafficking. Despite international recognition of the issues and efforts to prosecute sex tourism, sexual slavery is still pervasive in Cambodia and Vietnam. Creating handicrafts is a way for women to earn a living and lessen their vulnerability to prostitution and human trafficking, and access to Western markets gives them a better opportunity to make a livable wage.
