But, astoundingly, there still seem to be those who are against any watch on human rights (such as the right to ride a motorbike or go for a walk without being raped & slaughtered) and there still seem to be folk who insist these abominable acts are 'local culture' and 'White folk shouldn't interfere' & 'We are just guests' so 'we have no right to be involved.'
It is natural to find these acts abhorrent. They are not cultural problems, they are human problems. We all have a responsibility to find out what motivates such acts, and stop them. Otherwise, 'Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law,' will prevail. There is quite enough of that all over the World, thank you.
Agreed. There is a huge difference between getting involved in internal politics and being involved in helping women. Anyone who can't figure this out should leave Cambodia immediately.
