PHNOM PENH (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – A crackdown in Cambodia on women who wear provocative clothing while selling goods via Facebook live streams was slammed by women’s rights groups on Wednesday as dangerous and baseless. “This is a violation of our culture and tradition,” he said, adding that such behaviour contributed to sexual abuse and violence against women. “This rhetoric only serves to perpetuate violence against women and stigmatise survivors of gender-based violence,” he said in a statement on Wednesday. “They always talk about culture, culture, culture,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
