Kdei Karuna works with young people, schools, and survivors to explore the issue of gender-based violence during the Khmer Rouge regime. Their activities include youth soft skills development, creating safe spaces for sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) survivors, empowering youth leaders to address past community conflicts, and establishing youth-friendly clubs focused on Khmer Rouge history and peer education.
The project facilitates intergenerational dialogues between young people and Khmer Rouge survivors, and documents survivor experiences for educational purposes. KdK's successful record of accomplishment demonstrates its effectiveness in promoting Cambodian history education, particularly regarding SGBV under the Khmer Rouge. Their work empowers local communities to actively deal with gender-based violence, fostering empathy, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the past among young people, while also promoting reconciliation and community connection.
