WE ARE GOLD
A traditional Khmer proverb says, "Men are like gold, women are like white cloth." This means that while gold always has value, no matter how tarnished, a white cloth, once dirty, can never be clean again. These dangerous and damaging ideas about a woman's value must end.
We say that women are gold.
We reject these damaging ideas about gender that have held women back from achieving their dreams and say that women are gold. It is time to break through and recognize women and girls' intelligence, strength, and abilities and abandon all that has come before to restrict women's rights and freedoms.
