I am interested in learning about rural-urban poverty and development. It is one of the important cases in under developing country such Asia and Pacific. The worst thing happens in the developing country such as in Aceh-Indonesia, my homeland. Indian Ocean tsunamis also has killed tent of thousands of children and left hundred of thousands homeless in one of history's worst natural disaster. The great amounts of the victim during the conflict and tsunamis disaster were women and children. Some of them had been kidnapped, killed and experienced sexual harassment by soldier and tsunamis disaster had been taken Acehness more complicated problem previously. They had to take the economic responsibility in their families because they have been having nothing including house hold. Some of them have to spend their life in the exodus area because of the tsunami. These conditions made me interest to take a part in recovering the women and children's right which has been disappeared there.
