Who should we call? Who should we send letters to? Remembering those who were silent and the "never again" slogan I am frustrated by not being able to take more action in the face of injustices like this. Please let us know in what way we can help.

Her story is heroic, her courage remarkable. She has given voice and continues to give voice to all Cambodian women who have had no voice and no hope to free themselves from sexual servitude, victims of an ongoing disregard for their basic human rights. This brave and intelligent woman deserves all the support we can give in making her plight known to the world so that she is free once again and can continue her fight for a better and democratic Cambodia where women have rights and are not regarded as chattel.

Also notes to Sachua through VVGP website would give her more emotional strength. Thank you all so much for caring for one of our sisters! Warmest, Marina Pisklakova Dear Friends,

I think the best way to support Mu Sachua as usually is to start sending faxes to Cambodian prime minister and the embassy in your country, as well as requesting that the government in your country puts a pressure on the Cambodian government.

Also notes to Sachua through VVGP website would give her more emotional strength.

Thank you all so much for caring for one of our sisters!

Warmest,
