  • Karen Tse, an uncommon hero bringing human rights to Asia

    Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under professional organization | 18 Comments »

    Meet Karen Tse. A former public defender and ordained minister, Karen Tse moved to Cambodia in 1994 to train public defenders. After witnessing many violations of the rights of citizens, she founded International Bridges to Justice to promote systemic global change in the administration of criminal justice. The organization has dramatically improved and even saved the lives of everyday citizens by training and supporting criminal defense lawyers and establishing a network of Defender Resource Centers throughout China. Plans call for expansion in China, as well as Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries where programs are expected to reach critical mass due to public awareness and the creation of professional associations of trained advocates and judges.

    Learn about her story in this episode of Uncommon Heroes, funded by the Skoll Foundation. More information at www.skollfoundation.org.

      Wow, what an inspiration. A dedicated advocate to bring justice in the world today. These issues must be noticed, and Karen Tse is the change. Even if a corrupted world is neglecting the sanctity of humans, at least we have humans who are trying to give a change. Changes are needed, and Karen Tse is the voice of this change.

      Karen is woman of great courage, stamina, and charisma, all of which she uses to change the world. She has a vision and she knows how to stay on track in order to realize that vision. She is gentle and compassionate, she is spiritual, yet she knows how to confront the hard realities she is dealing with. If the world only had more people like Karen, we would be much closer to the perfect world we all dream of.
