PHNOM PENH — Rape of women and girls appears to be increasing in Cambodia and victims face stigma and get little justice, rights group Amnesty International said in a report to mark International Women's Day.
The report, released Monday, said there was a lack of comprehensive statistics on sexual violence in the country, but people who worked with victims believed rape was increasing and "a growing number of victims are children."
"A growing number of rape reports, including against very young girls and gang rapes, fill Cambodian newspapers," the report said.
