The head of the Korea Crime Victims' Association on Tuesday apologized to the Cambodian Ambassador to Seoul Chan Ky Sim on Tuesday morning for the brutal killing of a Cambodian woman by her Korean husband.
Lee Yong-woo visited the Cambodian Embassy to deliver W20 million (US$1=W1,086) in compensation available for victims of violent crime. The money will be given to the family of the woman, whose Korean husband drugged her and set her on fire to collect the life insurance money.
"Do you know how popular Korean singers, fashion and cosmetic goods are in Cambodia?" the ambassador was quoted as saying. "When this tragic incident happened, people in Cambodia were very shocked. We need support for these migrant women as there are over 6,000 Cambodian women who came to Korea to marry Korean men."
The KCVA, which supports the victims of criminal cases, also visited to the Vietnamese Embassy in July last year to deliver W30 million to help the family of a Vietnamese woman who was killed by her mentally ill Korean husband in Busan.
Migrant women are often marginalized and vulnerable to crimes. In order to obtain Korean citizenship, they need to reside in Korea for at least two years. Support can be provided to foreigners if their countries have agreements with Korea on mutual support of crime victims, but that is not the case for Cambodia or Vietnam, which are the home of many mail-order brides who marry Korean men.

Youn, thai, french, japanese, korean, taiwan.
We need to love ourself, respect ourself, protect and stand up for each other!
Khmer must help khmer at any where
I think this guy who works for Cambodia Embassy in South Korea will take the money instead if it is pure money without a check with the name of a victim.
It reminds the Ambassador of the Cambodia Embassy in Paris who is the a crook from Hun Sen and CPP, taking advantage of the Cambodian people who have paid the expensive passports. That crook ripped off the poor Cambodian students who studied in European countries like Germany, Switzerland, France, etc.
I've a suggestion to all the Khmer women. Stops married to all the foreigner, now you see she is your example don't be ambitious involed with the foreigner to much. It's better to stick with your own kind.
Why are Khmer woman so cheap? They only use her to collect the insurance money, Is this fare ?? Why do we Khmer people continue to have to suffer this way?? Is there any justice in the world???
