LGBTIQ Voices takes a look into the lives of people in Cambodia who live outside the gender mainstream and heterosexual norms that define society. Part of a collaborative initiative known as Our Turn, this work seeks to better understand the challenges, struggles, hopes, and dreams of LGBTIQ individuals in same-sex and non-binary relationships. It has been led by members of the LGBTIQ community through a participatory approach to not only generate new knowledge on these issues, but to also explore connections with other groups facing multiple marginalisation.
This publication shares the findings based on conversations with 20 LGBTIQ individuals in relationships across Cambodia. Leveraging Facilitative Listening Design (FLD), a participatory community information gathering approach that connects “Listeners” to “Sharers” in a deep conversation, these findings paint a more comprehensive human picture of those living in Cambodia with diverse gender identities or in diverse relationships. The messages from the community itself push readers to consider their issues and learn about how the law and societal norms affect them in their everyday lives.
