Read More Joint Submission_4th UPR_Gender Based Violence
Gender-based violence in all of its forms continues to be prevalent in Cambodia. While the 2021-22 Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey (CDHS) suggests that lifetime rates of physical abuse by partners has decreased, overall intimate partner violence rate remains high at 21% while those not seeking help has increased to 53%.1 The government did make a major step forward since the last review session by adopting its National Action Plan on the Prevention of Violence against Women (2019-2023) (NAPVAW3) at the level of the Council of Ministers, making it binding on all line ministries; previous plans had been officially adopted at the level of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs. Some positive outcomes of this plan include setting up safe spaces in government hospitals for women to report violence and receive referral services to all available support for survivors and improving essential training packages and guidance materials for authorities and other service providers, including materials on survivor-centered approaches related to on legal protection, basic counseling, referral, limited use of mediation, and health system management of violence against women cases.

Read More Conviction of Mother Nature Activists is a National Shame
The Phnom Penh Capital Court’s conviction and sentencing of 10 Mother Nature activists to 6-8 years in prison, and the arrest of five of them on 2 July 2024, is a shame for our nation. Silencing environmental defenders and characterising their peaceful advocacy as a threat to the state is a mockery of justice. It is well past time for authorities to listen to and work with youth and environmental activists. Stop spending resources harassing, threatening and prosecuting the brave and passionate young people who are working to protect Cambodia’s most precious natural resources.
