Kek Galabru

Kek Galabru, known in her native Khmer language as Pung Chhiv Kek (Khmer: ពុង ឈីវកេក), is a Cambodian woman and prominent human rights activist[1] who played a critical role in bringing peace to Cambodia after years of Civil War.[2] As the founder of the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defence of Human Rights (LICADHO), She is considered "one of Cambodia's foremost defenders of human rights"[3] while others have referred to her as "the archetype of the femme fatale".[4]

Pung Chhiv Kek Galabru and Eva Galabru were extremely helpful under very difficult circumstances and they have my utmost admiration for the tremendous work they do to further the cause and practice of human rights.
