In Cambodia, transgender people—known locally as 'khteuy'—have long been part of society.

Despite this history, many still face social pressure and limited legal recognition.

Transgender individuals often struggle with family acceptance and finding safe employment.

Some face discrimination in schools, healthcare, and housing.

However, growing awareness through education and advocacy is bringing hope.

Local NGOs and LGBTQ+ activists are creating safe spaces and support networks.

Public events like Pride parades and community workshops encourage conversations and challenge old views.

Young transgender Cambodians are using social media to tell their stories and connect with others.

Still, more work is needed to ensure equal rights and fully accepted identities.

Understanding their experiences helps build a more inclusive and respectful society.

Transgender lives in Cambodia show incredible strength, resilience, and bravery.

Their voices deserve to be heard and celebrated.
