Following news of Cambodian women being mistreated by their Taiwanese husbands or fiancés once they arrived in Taiwan, what plan does the Royal Government of Cambodia has to help protect the rights of its own citizens when they suffer hardship overseas?
Hor Nam Hong, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, told reporters that some of these women are also at faults: “We don’t know their exact number because (1) they left in secrecy on their own, and (2) they are tricked by people who cheated them and took them there. Therefore, we don’t have the exact number. It’s only when they show up in our embassy that we learn about it. In the past, we ask the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to transport some [women] from Malaysia, Indonesia. Now we have problems in Taiwan which we read about on the Internet, we are currently asking the IOM to investigate because we don’t have [diplomatic] relationships with Taiwan. Only NGOs can follow up with Taiwan.”
