Cambodian Children Will Get Lessons on LGBTQ+ Acceptance Starting 2020

Students in Cambodia will soon receive lessons on LGBTQ+ issues, a move expected to eradicate prevailing discrimination against the community in the Southeast Asian country.

The lessons, which will start in 2020, will reportedly be part of the sex education curriculum beginning in seventh grade, covering topics on gender identity and sexual orientation, among others.

While Cambodia has no laws specific to LGBTQ+ individuals, the country remains largely conservative, with same-sex relationships still being viewed as a social taboo.
