Gender-based violence is a serious and widespread problem in Cambodia which, due to strict patriarchal culture and norms, is estimated to be significantly under-reported. About one in five women (19.6 per cent) experienced physical, sexual or emotional intimate partner violence in the prior 12 months, and only a quarter of women experiencing violence seek help from formal service providers. Other forms of violence include sexual violence, sexual harassment and harmful practices such as child and early marriage.
