Tep Sothy (Template:Lang-km); born February 13, 1973) is a Cambodian Politician and Member of parliament for Takeo province. She has represented Takeo province after the Cambodia National Rescue Party won 58 seats in Cambodian general election, 2013. Before coming to Cambodia, Sothy was an high school teacher teaching in Chicago. In 2010, she decided to join Cambodia's Human Rights Party established and led by Kem Sokha who previously famously led a human rights organization in Phnom Penh for many years. With no prior experience in politics, Sothy decided to move to Cambodia shortly after before the 2013 National Elections. She told The Voice of America Khmer Service in 2010 that she joined the political party because Kem Sokha was really "a great, moral, freedom-seeking leader." The Sam Rainsy Party and the Human Rights Party (Cambodia), Cambodia's two major political parties, merged into one party called the Cambodia National Rescue Party in 2012. Her work in Cambodia includes campaigns with women to improve gender awareness, gender sensitive laws and policies to address issues on health, children's welfare, domestic violence, gender quality, reproduction, and migration workers rights.
