}} Sompop Jantraka is a Thai activist who for more than twenty three years has worked to rescue children from exploitative labour/child trafficking. In 1988, after earning his bachelor's degree in political science from Chiang Mai University, Sompop became a researcher for the International Labour Organization, and worked with a journalist investigating trafficking in Thailand. Development and Education Programme for Daughters and CommunitiesIn 1989, Sompop founded the Daughters Education Programme (DEP) to prevent vulnerable girls being forced into the sex industry by funding their education. Working with a network of volunteers in villages in northern Thailand, DEP intervenes with girls and their families before they are sold to brothel owners, providing them free vocational education so they can be self-reliant and economically independent. In 1992, DEP became a part of a larger umbrella organization, Development and Education Programme for Daughters and Communities (DEPDC). DEPDC operates an emergency shelter for abused or abandoned children, and for girls who have left prostitution. DEPDC also offers education programs and human rights training for indigenous people and undocumented migrants. Mekong Youth NetSompop resigned as director of DEPDC in 2007 to focus on anti-trafficking programs throughout the Greater Mekong sub-region, including Laos, Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia and Yunnan Province in China. Through the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110725141633/http://www.depdc.org/eng/aboutus/myn.html Mekong Youth Net], grassroots youth leaders have been brought together to provide relief and solutions to exploitation of girls among the hill tribes and minority communities of the region.[1] Honors and awards
