Every day, there are people across Cambodia working tirelessly to defend everyone’s rights and freedoms. They do so in the face of relentless persecution, often at the hands of authorities.
These human rights defenders include farmers, company employees, and students who share in the struggles of their communities. Their efforts do not always receive the recognition they deserve, but remain immensely valuable in shaping the future.
