Advocacy and Awareness Raising

RoCK works with our LGBT+ members, authorities, and partners to advocate for equal rights and protections for LGBT+ people. We do so by focusing on actions needed at the community level, while also increasingly participating in joint efforts with other stakeholders for legislative and policy change at the national level.

SOGIE & Human Rights Workshop and Public Forum

At the local level, RoCK provides training and shares information with local authorities, public officials, and villagers on topics relevant to the LGBTIQ community such as SOGIE and Human Rights. Through these activities, LGBT+ members of the commune, as the rights holders, can raise their issues and ask for possible solutions from the duty bearers, such as local authorities and service providers.

Declaration of Family Relationship

Working with an experienced human rights lawyer and local authorities, RoCK has developed a formal contract for LGBT+ couples called β€œDeclaration of Family Relationship.” This project aims to protect the property and assets of LGBT+ couples, their biological and adopted children, and family as an interim strategy while Cambodia doesn’t allow same-sex marriage nor adoption of children by same-sex couples.
