Like many survivors of the Khmer Rouge era, Ms. Moung Khly carried the weight of that history long after the regime ended - living with anxiety, emotional suffering, and trauma that time alone could not heal.
Through the Interim Reparative Measures project, she found a path forward. Participating in health support services, older people's association meetings, and skills training, she gradually rebuilt her confidence and her connections to others. Individual reparative measures gave her the means to improve her family's livelihood, while counseling and emotional support gave her space to process experiences she had long kept buried.
Today, Ms. Moung Khly speaks of her journey not with bitterness, but with courage and hope - a testament to what recognition, support, and solidarity can make possible.
