Cambodia

There are no nationwide estimates of SGM populations in Cambodia. However, a 2014 study done by the Cambodian National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STD estimates that the population of men who have sex with men in Cambodia is about 31,000 (Mun et. al., 2016). Furthermore, a 2013 study done by FHI 360 estimates that there are about 2,686 transgender individuals in seven urban cities of Cambodia (Ngak et.al, 2013). These estimates may provide an insight on some aspects of SGM individuals in Cambodia.
