On 7 April 2012, a 23 year old woman suffered burns to 30 percent of her body after being doused with acid while she slept in her home on a rubber plantation in Siem Reap Province, in an attack reported to have been motivated by jealousy.1 As of the date of this Report, the attack is the third reported acid attack in Cambodia since a new acid law intended to better control access to acid and more strictly punish perpetrators for attacks was passed in December 2011 (the “Acid Law”).
