* The UN family in Cambodia consists of 23 agencies, funds and programs convened under the UN Resident Coordinator. On March 8, 2007, the new UN Secretary-General sent out this message: “In almost all countries, women continue to be under-represented in decision-making positions. Women’s work continues to be undervalued, underpaid, or not paid at all. Out of more than 100 million children who are not in school, the majority are girls. Out of more than 800 million adults who cannot read, the majority are women. Worst of all, violence against women and girls continues unabated in every continent, country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on women's lives, on their families, and on society as a whole. Most societies prohibit such violence — yet the reality is that too often, it is covered up or tacitly condoned.”

* I took this picture in front of Children Hospital in Siem Riep City where you can see many similar mothers suffering their children’s hunger at the given dried-up breast. This is one of the obvious cases when God needs to grant a miracle. The mother in this picture may not know anything about the above information. Her only concern is her child in need of some milk while she fails to produce due to her malnutrition.
