Cambodia’s progress on gender equality questioned
In its annual report signed yesterday, the Cambodian National Council for Women lauded the government’s efforts to increase gender equality throughout society, though women’s rights activists today raised doubts about the achievements.
The council highlights in the report that the economic and political status of women has improved in the past year – citing examples like the issuance of land titles to “poor women and widows”, for example to evicted residents of the now-demolished White Building.
