After the new found democracy in Cambodia, there was campaign to encourage our Khmer women to enter the political arena. In fact the total number of the Cambodian population, the women is in majority campared to men. Back in history in the Khmer civilization the role of the women is very important. The word "Me" or Chief is attached in many human organization, ie. Mekhum, Me Srok, Me Kang, etc.
Still presently, not many were successful in involving in politics, a dozen may be. Today Phnom Penh Post article on Mu Sokhua shows that she had endured many hardship in doing her role as representative of the peole. It is too bad. The other end of the argument: this is the rule of law. Well, there is always the exception to policy... She went trough much humiliation already. She deserved a break...
