Cambodia's Tep Vanny: 'I am ready to die for justice'

Carried out in the name of progress, forced eviction, now rank as one of the world's most serious human rights abuse.

Across Cambodia developers are seizing valuable pieces of land, throw the existing community out, and after protests ebb away, building new developments on them: malls and apartments for the newly rich.

And in Cambodia it's housewives who have become the front line in the fight against this.

Tep Vanny along with other women of Boeung Kak Lake in Phnom Penh have challenged the developer and the Cambodian government, and have refused to go quietly. 

Who's involved?
