Abstract

This article discusses the processes through which practices of coercive control in the commission of sexualised and gender based violence (SGBV) can be rendered visible through victim participation in criminal justice processes. Specifically, it explores the ways in which victims’ participation in the work of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) has exposed the crime of forced marriage during the Khmer Rouge regime.

Keywords: Cambodia; Transitional Justice; International Criminal Law; Victim Participation; Sexual And Gender Based Violence
