Cambodia has now the highest percentage of disabled inhabitants of any country of the world. Walking through capital city Phnom Penh, it is unusual to go for more than a few minutes without seeing someone missing an arm or a leg. Disabled children are often abandoned. Female amputees are less desirable as wives because the can not work. Many employers will not hire amputees, no matter how skilled they are. In some cases male amputees have not been allowed to become Buddhist monks because they are no longer "whole."
All mine victims have one thing in common: they are randomly selected.
