Because of the recession, a lot of employees were released from their work. Women, carrying the burden of providing for their families were provided no other options. Southeast Asian countries were deeply affected by the financial crisis and were left with social scars. Whenever economic recession or crisis similar to this happens, women and children bear the scars. |
