Cambodia Study - Opportunities for Reparations for Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence
January 27, 2023
This report by REDRESS, Kdei Karuna, and the Global Survivors Fund (GSF) examines the scope and prevalence of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) during the Khmer Rouge regime and the main obstacles survivors face in realising their right to reparations. It explores what survivors themselves want from effective reparation programmes, and sets out steps that Cambodian authorities, civil society, and the international community could take to support their search for redress. The study draws on in-country consultations with survivors, interviews with experts and stakeholders, and desk research. It forms part of a multi-country study led by the GSF to help close the global gap in honouring survivors' right to reparations.
