Loung Ung: Activist, Author, Lecturer
"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest."

Dedication

This site is dedicated to the Khmer people for theirs are not only the voices of war, but testimonies of love, family, beauty, humor, strength, and courage. For all the above reasons and more, Cambodia will always be in my heart and soul. -- Loung Ung

Reviews & Responses

“Loung was not only an outstanding speaker but also extremely skilled in shaping her passion and commitment to the theme of the 2001 Seattle Human Rights Day. The audience was riveted to their seats during her presentation and there were few dry eyes in the house. We are still receiving heartfelt thanks and comments from both the Khmer community and the general public. On behalf of all of us here at the Seattle Office for Civil Rights, thank you for helping to make this event one of our best ever.”
-- Germaine W. Covington, Director, Seattle Office for Civil Rights.
