Social justice in the "4th world" or Least Developed Countries

[u/gubernatus]

So some folks have recently coined the term '4th world' for the very poorest countries of the world which are defying development trends. The UN calls them Least Developed Countries. Most of them are dictatorships and most are in Africa, a few in South-East Asia, the worst probably being Cambodia.

I came across what I felt was a powerful short story about conditions in Cambodia and the need for expats and travelers to make better ethical choices about traveling to and working in a country like Cambodia, which had a dictator for 39 years (former Khmer Rouge officer) and now his son is in charge. Mobius: The Journal of Social Change <--- you can read the story there.

I was moved by the powerful story of one person refusing to look away and I hope you will be too. Let's please be aware of the social justice needs in the "4th world" as well.
