Has anyone inspired you to want to make a difference for children?

Partly me having a child of my own. I also had a difficult childhood, and seeing how children in developing countries live—especially since I have roots in Thailand—affects me deeply. Children often can’t speak up for themselves, which makes it even harder when they’re harmed by adults who are supposed to make them feel safe.

How have your experiences with children (through family, friends, or work) influenced your commitment to children’s rights?

My own experiences within my family were quite difficult. A close relative and I were abused as children by someone close to our family. At the same time, friends’ parents and other trusted adults at school and youth centers had a positive impact on me and shaped my commitment. After spending 11 years at Fryshuset, its values and philosophy have become deeply aligned with my own.

Why have you chosen to focus on ending the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children?

I’m from Thailand. I don’t think I need to say much more than that.

Which issues within the field of child sexual exploitation matter most to you?

Creating greater safety for children and preventing their vulnerability at every level.

What is the best part of being part of an organization like ChildX?

Knowing that I’m making a real difference—that I might have the chance to save a child’s life so it isn’t lost. It’s also inspiring to see so many trusted adults finally coming together to take action on something that should be obvious to everyone.

Is there a book, film, or song that has strengthened your commitment to children’s rights?

Sold: My Journey Back by Ebonita Baldeh. I hope it will be made into a film one day.

How can we get more people involved in the fight against sexual violence against children?

By creating engaging reels and videos online, organizing public activations, involving well-known public figures, and building major partnerships—like with Min Stora Dag. I’d also love to see ChildX represented at large events such as concerts, amusement parks, football matches, community night walks, and festivals. Another important way is for ChildX to collaborate with and support other charities, such as organizations working with people experiencing homelessness or supporting women affected by violence.

Working with children’s vulnerability can be emotionally challenging. What helps you recharge?

Listening to children (especially my own) hearing their thoughts and opinions, and experiencing their creative, honest, and unfiltered way of seeing the world. And laughing.
