In this episode of Beyond Year Zero, I explore the widespread practice of forced marriage under the Khmer Rouge, and ask what impact that has on women and gender rights in today's Cambodia?
Drawing on interviews with notable practitioners from civil society, politics, academia, and the arts, this podcast was produced before, during, and after the recent general election, which saw the Cambodian People's Party take every seat in the country's parliament. I attempt to explore what impact the country's dark past and contested present will have on the opportunities and prospects for women in the country, and where we are at in Cambodia in terms of gender eqaulity today.
