This made me think about when I was thirteen years old and in 8th grade. A Hmong guy who was in college pursued me. At the time, it seemed normal because many of my Hmong girlfriends were dating college age Hmong men. Is this Hmong man any different than Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky? Are the people in the Hmong community who witnessed the behavior and said nothing any different than those who knew Sandusky's sexual assult of minors at Penn State and did nothing? 
We envision a world where Hmong women and girls are valued and supported to achieve their highest potential in all of their roles. We see a society that honors the choices that Hmong women make and celebrates their ability to direct their own destinies.
