Impact

THE IMPACT
Denial of Human Rights and Khmer Rouge leave a negative impact on Cambodia, and still has not fully recovered.

Khmer Rouge, a huge part of the denial of human rights for Cambodian citizens, left one-fourth of the population dead. 16,000+ were killed, tortured and interrogated. There was 62,000 Cambodian refugees. There was also the 'Cambodian Genocide' leading to 1.7 million dead.



CONCERNS
>Cambodia faced one of the worst genocides, and not one of the leaders of the Khmer Rouge was brought into court of law to answer questions of the crimes.
>Men and Women have equal rights under the constitution, but cultural practices still deny females fair treatment.
>Trafficking in humans is a major industry.
