Today when we talked to a young Cambodian woman she complained about the lack of freedom for girls like her in the very conservative Cambodian society.
For instance if she would be seen close with another guy her reputation would be destroyed and she would reach the status of a "bad girl."
The good girls have to stay at home and wait for a wonder or a nice guy falling from the sky.She had allmost tears in her eyes when she said that.
She continued how unfair that is because nobody would blame him and so on.She with 18 years is not allowed to go out at night or date a guy.
Wow-of course thats hard.
She said she is looking foward to more western lifestyle coming in he country.:)
So much first hand about the domestic emancipation status.
