Result of An LGBT Workshop!

WORKSHOP REPORT
Rainbow Community Kampuchea (RoCK)
‘What is life like for LGBT in Cambodia?’ – 9-11th March 2010


Workshop participants
Over 100 hundred participants gathered in Men’s Health Cambodia (MHC) to be part of the 3 day workshop. A group of six participants came from 13 provinces, a larger number of twenty-two came from Phnom Penh and some MSM NGOs sent staff to facilitate and learn. The provinces were:
 Kompong Chnang, Siem Reap, Kompong Speu, Banteay Meanchey, Takeo, Kompong Som, Kandal, Battambang, Kompong Cham, Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Kampot, Pursat and Phnom Penh city.
Participating and supporting NGOs were:
 Men’s Health Cambodia (MHC); Men’s Health Social Services (MHSS); Family Health International (FHI); Building Community Voice (BCV); Social Action for Change (SAC); KHANA, Women’s Network for Unity (WNU); BC, CUD.
It was the first time such a workshop has taken place in Cambodia, bringing together a mixed group of lesbian, gay and transgender people to share experiences.
For the lesbians from the provinces, it was certainly the first time- apart from Cambodia Pride 2009 when lesbians from five provinces participated- that they had been invited to be part of such a workshop.
