International Women's Day - Cambodia Style

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Do you mean the 2 who were just pardoned?
Or the 116 who were not?
Do you mean the 1 in exile?
Or the 1 in house arrest?

I don't think that the government is afraid of them.

The simple reason for denying Street Rallies is that these Rallies most certainly will be abused by some NGO like LICADHO, ADHOC yes and even the notorious Human Rights Watch and of course by the already forbidden Opposition.

The UN Drive to "make Woman powerfull" is in my opinion driving a wedge between man and woman in many countries. Woman by nature are a lot more intelligent than man. They have methods and means to have things their way. When i look at the average western woman turning up here in Cambodia i always feel that something is very wrong with them. A lot of them seem to carry big mental issues around with them... while others MUST CHALLENGE men on every issue that is typically men to proof that they are the better gender that can do everything better ! Going down that pass leaves many men appaled and turned off women alltogether which in turn leaves woman to look "for a real man" !

And since we are at it. What about equality ? Let's have a MAN's day !! After all even with all the feminazi bullshit most men are still the providers and that's not because woman make less money. In many western countries the government enforced a WOMENS QUOTA in most big companies. So it's not the qualification that counts but the gender. What a bullshit !

end of rant
And lets have a ''transgender day '' also for those that don't identify themselves as male or female,,, after all we do believe in equal rights don't we ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Happy Women's Day everybody ! Did you respect her right to breakfast in bed this morning ? Shame on you if you forgot :nono: .

More seriously, there has been a big cultural shift in women's role in society in Cambodia. Women say they have more freedom. However, many women still face restrictions from their family, particularly when they are unmarried and live in rural areas.

Women reflect on changing rights landscape
As women mark International Women’s Day today, mothers and female union leaders reflect on changes in women’s rights in the Kingdom.

Yim Sothy grew up in a modest time without all the glitz and glamour seen in cities like Phnom Penh today.

Ms Sothy, director of the Cambodian Domestic Workers Network, says that when she was a child, her rights and freedoms as a woman were restricted – a scenario she does not want repeated for her own children.

“I did not learn as much as a man did. My parents told me even with an education, a woman would still be a housewife to look out after their children and cook for their husband,” says Ms Sothy, who is today marking the 108th anniversary of International Women’s Day.

“Our rights were restricted back in the 1990s and we did not have the nerve to go against our parents,” she adds. “Now ladies can go where ever they want and study as much as they wish and make their own decisions. Back then, parents made all the decisions.”

Looks like a stand off to me. I wonder who's going to win ? Will those men stand on the women's shadows before attacking them or will that unknown red umbrella weapon scare them off.
