Cambodia: Breaking the silence: Sexual violence In Cambodia [Report Summary]

Index Number: ASA 23/002/2010

This document is a summary of an Amnesty International report which exposes how corruption and discrimination within the police and courts prevent survivors of rape from receiving justice and the necessary assistance. Reports of women and girls being raped are on the increase in Cambodia. Amid a culture of impunity, victims have limited access to justice and the acute lack of medical services and psychological support reflects social attitudes to rape and other sexual violence.
