This episode looks at a type of exploitation women in particular face: being forced into marriage. We go on a harrowing journey with Srey Pov, a young woman from Cambodia who was told she'd be working in a shoe factory in China, but instead was forced into marriage. What's the best way to help those who fall into deceptive and often abusive marriages? We hear from both frontline responders and researchers to find out.
