Phnom Penh, March 05, 2020 –Cambodia has determined the theme of \u201cPeace is a Foundation for Gender Equality\u201d for the celebration of the in-coming 109th International Women\u2019s Day in 2020.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The theme was seen as very responsive to the emerging context in Cambodia.<\/p>\n

Ms. Sam Sothary, a staff at Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone, observes better awareness of women\u2019s rights and role in the society, thanks to the sustained peace and social stability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI support the observance of the March 8 Women\u2019s Day, as it is a reminder to everyone to continue fixing inequality among women and men,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

A postgraduate student, Ms. Keo Sreyneang, shared an interesting perspective that the Women\u2019s Day celebration also helps remind all women and girls about their important role in the society.<\/p>\n

She continued that, \u201cbecause of peace and enabling environment, women can now access to high education which is a means for them to fully realise their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Soun Sreyhouchdalis who is an NGO worker hopes that with the signified role of women, Cambodia\u00a0will continue to address violence against women and more voices of women will be amplified through media.<\/p>\n

The Royal Government of Cambodia as well as the Ministry of Women\u2019s Affairs and all concerned stakeholders have been working hard to promote gender equality in Cambodia, and ensuring peace as foundation for it to further flourish.<\/p>\n

According to report of the Cambodian National Council for Women, of the total 218,635 civil servants, about 41 percent are women.<\/p>\n

In terms of leadership role, there are 10 women as Senate members, 26 National Assembly members, one deputy prime minister, 3 ministers, 53 secretaries of state, 70 undersecretaries of state, one provincial governor, 26 deputy provincial governors, 6 city\/district\/Khan governors, 130 commune chiefs, 37 judges, and 23 prosecutors.<\/p>\n
