Somaly Mam foundation shuts down

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Somaly Mam foundation shuts down

Post by phuketrichard »

you can only get away with lying for so long till they catch on;
The Somaly Mam Foundation has shut down following allegations that its former president and namesake, Cambodia’s most famous anti-sex trafficking activist, fabricated details about her own back story and those of supposed sexual-assault victims.

In a statement released early this morning, the foundation announced that it had “officially ceased all operations, ended all grant funding, and permanently closed our doors” on September 30.

This is old news, but this is how it was reported in 2008.

Good riddance.

On a side note, there was an article, I think in the New York Times, awhile back about her fancy traditional style house in Phnom Penh. I cannot seem to find that article any more. Any else ever see it or have the Anchor beers finally gotten to my mind?
