Report on the Violence Against Women in Cambodia. Human Rights Now (2011)
 |
Human Rights Now (herinafter, HRN) conducted a survey on violence against women in Cambodia in March 2010 under the ‘Violence against Women Project’. The survey was carried out after the adoption of the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence and the Protection of Victims (hereinafter ‘DV Law’) at the National Assembly of Cambodia in October 2005, focusing on the situation of domestic violence. Although five years have passed since the introduction of the DV Law, this law is yet to be widely used to provide enough protection for women. It has not been fully enforced. The judiciary who is responsible for the enforcement of the law and women themselves do not completely understand the law. As a result, the legal system is not able to prevent domestic violence and provide adequate protection. Download this publication |
Country Analysis of Family Planning and HIV/AIDS Programs: Cambodia. USAID and POLICY (2005)
|
It has long been recognized that family planning (FP) is an integral part of reproductive health (RH) services and that family planning is of increasing importance in a context of high HIV prevalence. Family planning helps all women, including HIV-positive women, avoid unwanted pregnancies and empowers HIV-positive couples to limit the size of their family. Family planning programs (FPPs) are also an effective way of helping to reduce the burden of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on health services and on society. Download this publication |
2001 Cambodia STI Prevalence Survey. National Centre for HIV/AIDS Dermatology and STD Cambodia, FHI and USAID (2001)

Cambodia has the highest Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) prevalence in Asia. The predominant mode of transmission is heterosexual, and active commercial sex and bridging networks are believed to have played an important role in rapid epidemic spread. Several sexually transmitted infections (STIs) - including syphilis, gonorrhea and chancroid - were also widely prevalent in Cambodia during the rapid growth phase of its HIV epidemic.

Mapping HIV Vulnerability along Kampong Thom, Siem Reap, Odor Meanchey and Preah Vihear, Cambodia. UNDP (2004)
| The poor state of Cambodia’s infrastructure has posed a major obstacle to development and poverty reduction efforts. The Cambodian government has recognized this challenge and made infrastructure, especially road rehabilitation, one of its top priorities. The “Provincial and Rural Infrastructure Project (PRIP)”, 2003-2005, was jointly developed by the Cambodian Ministry of Public Work and Transport (MPWT), the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD), the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and the World Bank (WB). As part of this project, parts of Route six, which run through the four provinces of Kampong Thom, Siem Reap, Preah Vihear and Odor Meanchey, have been targeted for rehabilitation. Although this project is expected to reduce poverty, negative side effects are also expected, such as the increase in HIV vulnerability of roadside communities. It is therefore essential to identify populations that are most vulnerable to HIV infection, and develop ways to build their HIV resilience. Download this publication |
