Meet Le from Cambodia. Le is an expert in gender and minorities.
Growing up in a minority village, where education for women was often dismissed, she defied the odds and became a relentless advocate for those who, like her, have faced multiple layers of marginalisation.
From a young age, Le was determined to challenge the status quo.
Her journey — from a village where dreams were stifled to a world of education and empowerment— mirrors the struggles of countless women and girls she now fights for.
Le has become a specialist in gender and minorities. She led Women Peace Makers’ gender and peacebuilding intersectionality projects, and is now a representative for minority women.
Le’s work goes beyond advocacy; she’s amplifying the voices of the unheard. Through ground-breaking publications, artistic projects, and dialogues she has created platforms for minority women and girls to share their stories. As the co-author of pioneering books that delve into the lived experiences of girls from minority communities in Cambodia, Le is ensuring their challenges and dreams are not just seen but realised.
Le is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Peace and Conflict and is spending a summer with Interpeace in the Kenya Programme focusing on marginalised communities, and actively participated in various civic engagement programs.
For Le, peace starts with freedom, diversity and inclusion.
