The woman that runs the shelter said that the girls kept a photo of Hillary in their rooms as inspiration. Thanks to her visit, the Cambodian government couldn't hide the issue anymore.

"I was embraced by children who should have been in grade school, but were instead recovering from having been enslaved in a brothel," Clinton said, of her visit to a Cambodian shelter last year.

"There was one little girl who had the biggest grin on her face, and then when I looked into that face, I saw that one of her eyes was badly disfigured. She had glasses on. And I asked one of the women running the shelter, ‘What happened to her?’

"And she said, ‘Well, when she was sold into a brothel, she was even younger than she is now, and she basically fought back to protect herself against what was expected. So the brothel owner stabbed her in the eye with a large nail.’”
