The Award 2008
A speech in praise of Ms. Mam was given by US filmmaker and human rights activist Guy Jacobson. “Somaly Mam was an orphan in the poorest of circumstances. Sold into prostitution, she was forced to witness the most horrific atrocities, torture and murder,” he said. “Today, she has emerged as a leading figure representing the voice of the victims.” The Roland Berger Human Dignity Award honors Somaly Mam personally for her work, “but the true winners are the countless number of people whose lives she has managed to change.”
