CGiii Comment

The LGBT community in Cambodia faces fierce discrimination. Many of them are involved in drugs and prostitution because they are ostracized from society. Many have been disowned by their families. Lives Under the Red Light shows the reality of their situation. All of the people interviewed are sex workers in Phnom Penh. They face intense discrimination and work in risky situations. They have experienced rape, gang rape and forced drug abuse from tourists and local clients.
