Violence in Cambodia

I searched on google what happens in cambodia these days related to violence.
As the result is, most violence or crime are heavily related with WOMEN.

'A 2013 UN report found that 22 percent of women in Cambodia have experienced physical or sexual domestic violence'.

Factors that contribute to violence in Cambodia may occur due to factors including "traditional beliefs, alcohol consumption, low levels of education, unemployment, socio-economic marginalization".

What is Cambodia’s current policy response for preventing domestic violence?
-The RGC has made several key policy statements about the importance of women in general, and about domestic violence in particular.

The RGC has made reducing all forms of violence against women and children a priority, and has passed a number of laws, ratified international treaties and introduced policies towards this end. However, while problems continue with the implementation of these policies, the underlying cause of much domestic violence, women’s inequality and vulnerability, will require a long-term commitment to address these issues.

references comes from :  'Domestic violence in Cambodia' , 2014, Parliamentary institute of Cambodia.
