Gang Rape Pervasive in Cambodia

I stumbled across this on angry asian man and thought it might be a good idea to put it up on the Green Papaya.

Apparently, (as the title suggests), gang rape is pervasive in Cambodia.

While I think this kind of violence is uncalled for, reading the story reminded me a lot of how I felt while sitting in Anthro 3AC, while Professor Brandes talked about young girls in Micronesia as if they were pandas in a zoo or something.

The reporter, Rachel Snyder, even goes as far as framing/suggesting that it's "socially acceptable."

Thank you Rachel Snyder and David Wilkinson for making that observation about Khmer folks.

Now, maybe you can interview and quote a Khmer person who isn't a victim or who isn't the corrupt government so your NPR audience could finally see the beauty AND complexity of Cambodia.

OR, maybe we just need to start getting NPR ourselves and start telling our own stories.

YEEEEE!

i think . .

I should write and reflect more often.
