Cheryl Perera is a college student in Canada. However, this fact doesn’t stop her from fighting child prostitution and exploitation half a world away.

Cheryl got into her fight when she traveled to Sri Lanka when she was 17. She saw firsthand the horrible conditions and circumstances kids her age went through.

In Canada, she launched One Child, an organization that dedicates itself to fight global child sex trade.

With the help of family and friends, Cheryl managed to create a public service announcement on child prostitution on Air Canada fights. Now, she is trying to get it on other airlines.

She also speaks to thousands a year about sex tourism.

Cheryl knows that this is her life’s work, and she plans to keep on with it.
