Triple Jeopardy: Gender-Based Violence, Rights Violations
and Access to Related Services For Women With Disabilities in Cambodia

When: Thursday 22nd November 2012
Time: 9.00am-12pm
Where: Himawari Hotel,313 Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh

Cambodian women with disabilities experience multiple disadvantages resulting from the interplay between gender, disability and poverty. Disability increases the risk of gender based violence, but is also a potential outcome of violence. Very little research has been conducted on gender and disability in Cambodia; this research project therefore provides critical insights into the experiences of highly vulnerable women. Our research found that women with disabilities experience significantly higher levels of violence perpetrated by family members than women without disabilities suffer greater levels of psychological distress, but there are few services able to support them.

We are launching the results of our important research on Thursday 22nd November, with a presentation, panel with distinguished speakers and lunch. We would be honoured if you would join us.
