Miss Landmine: Cambodia

"It would damage the “dignity and rights of the disabled," claimed Cambodia's Ministery of Social Affairs some month's ago, as it released its decision to refuse permission for a proposed 'Miss Landmines' pageant to proceed.

Of course a photo isn't anything like the real thing but at least some level of recognition is better than nothing?

But what do you think? Should the pageant have gone ahead?
