'"We can consider ourselves a step above the rest of the world'" proclaimed Mrs Thida Khus , SILAKA Executive Director as she gave a highly charged motivational speech during the opening of the milestone event held at Freedom Park on what is internationally recognized as Valentines Day. A day where people all over the world show their appreciation and love for people in their lives. opening Considering Cambodia statistics on violence again women places the incidences at one in four women experiences violence in their lifetime, we should count ourselves fortunate, but the battle to combat the elimination of violence against women and girls is far from over.
