Gender-Based Violence Against Sexual Minorities During the Khmer Rough Regime

During the Khmer Rouge (KR) regime in Cambodia, people belonging to sexual minorities, examined as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people (LGBT), were forced to experience specific forms of gender-based violence and sexual violence that were not experienced by the majority of Khmer people.
