Violence against women in Cambodia

Violence against women in Cambodia is a serious issue. Cambodia has had a history of violence against women especially due to its past conflicts.[1] During the Pol Pot regime, women were exposed to several different violent acts against them such as forced marriages[2] and rape by the Khmer Rouge officials in Cambodia and refugee camps in Thailand.[3] Presently, there is still a number of different forms of exploitation and discrimination against women in Cambodia such as rape, domestic violence, and human trafficking as the country is recovering from the history of conflict.[4]
