Most Cambodians live with a weak justice system and few rightsBy Guy DeLauney
BBC News, Cambodia
Human rights organisations in Cambodia have called for the government to tackle the rising incidence of rape.
A report by Amnesty International says victims have limited access to justice, medical services and counselling.
It claims that rape cases are often settled by cash payments to the victim - or bribes to the authorities.
Official statistics show a significant increase of the number of rapes reported to police last year - almost a quarter more than in 2008.
