getting-away-with-it-the-treatment-of-rape-in-cambodia-s-justice-system

A report on the failure of Cambodia's justice system to investigate and prosecute cases of rape involving women and children. The report is based on a review of 762 cases of rape and attempted rape investigated by LICADHO in 2012, 2013 and 2014. It provides details of multiple systemic flaws – corruption, discriminatory attitudes towards women and girls, misinterpretation of the law, and lack of resources – which, together, mean that many perpetrators of rape receive only very lenient punishment or go completely unpunished. Available in English and Khmer language versions.
