Outer Voices is a multi-media project dedicated to listening to, learning from, and sharing with others the seldom-heard voices of grassroots women activists from throughout the Pacific Islands and the Asian Pacific Rim. We do this because we know that women who work in their own regions, on behalf of their own communities, can effect lasting, non-violent social change. We know that the media can be a tool for getting their stories heard. Once heard, these stories can provide replicable models for social change in other communities around the world. Outer Voices provides media access to these women and their communities, with the goal of fostering a constructive dialogue among activists and organizations worldwide and in the United States. - 06 - Exposing the Sex Industry in Cambodia: Part 2/3 - March 15, 2006 (6mb)
