Lomo is a tenacious advocate for people who are downtrodden or being victimized and exploited. Lomo is an accepted ally in Asian massage parlors and become aware of a population of hidden homeless women living tedious and painful lives, in plain sight.
Lomo takes his legacy from the original Lo Mo of over 100 years ago, in San Francisco's Chinatown, Donaldina "Lo Mo" Cameron.
Lomo has started a grassroots movement dedicated to raising awareness and fostering solutions to heal human trafficking, with a specific focus on sex trafficking in illicit and exploitive Asian massage parlors (AMPs). The movement will empower victims in their journey toward freedom, away from fear, while acknowledging the complexities of this issue. The movement also allows Asian massage parlor bosses to become respected, legitimate American businesspeople.
Human trafficking is a crime involving the exploitation of vulnerable individuals, often for forced labor or sexual exploitation. The movement delves into the different aspects and forms of human trafficking.
The movement sheds light on the specific issue of sex trafficking within Asian massage parlors, where debt bondage is used to trap individuals in modern-day servitude and slavery.
Many of the women trapped in this vicious cycle are 30 to 65 years old, and having a bondage debt ranging from $35,000 to $225,000 will be a lifetime debt for them as their average weekly earnings only total $240 including TIPs.
