We’re grateful to share an update on Nuon’s* court case in Cambodia.
This has been a long and difficult road. After the accused appealed the court decision for a third time, Nuon* was asked to return to court, face her abuser again, and retell her story once more.
For a survivor who is still healing, this was an incredibly heavy request.
Our team advocated strongly for Nuon* to be granted a leave of absence so she would not have to go through that emotional stress and trauma again. Thankfully, the judge approved the request, and Nuon* did not have to appear in court this time.
During the process, the line of questioning was deeply troubling and re-traumatizing, including questions no survivor should have to face. Our team stood beside Nuon* and continued to advocate for her dignity, safety, and well-being.
Today, we are grateful to share that a verdict has been made. The accused has been convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
We are thankful justice has been served, and we continue to stand with Nuon* as she moves forward in her healing journey.
Thank you for being part of making this work possible 💙
