About this service
In Cambodia, an old adage enjoys popular currency. "Women are like cloth and men are like gold," it claims, meaning that once cloth is soiled, it ought to be thrown away for it cannot be cleaned. Tragically, this chauvinistic attitude still reigns, hovering oppressively over the hopes and dreams of an entire nations female population. Domestic violence is perhaps the most common consequence of this toxic ideology, afflicting approximately one in four womenthe vast majority of whom have nowhere to turn.
Women are perceived as commodities, and not all commodities are equal: sex with young women and girls is believed to boost virility and health, placing the most vulnerable first in line for mistreatment at the hands of traffickers, neighbors, teachers, brothers and fathers. A young survivor of rape will often find her trauma compounded by the actions of her family.
