A girl's high school would be a good start here. Many who go to girl's schools do well.

BUT i dont get the point of the article, aren't most dorms ( never stayed in one)
males or female or mixed??
HUH??? how does staying in a female only dorm help u develop any skills?The purpose of the dorms is to help the young women develop the skills they need to return to their communities and transform rural Cambodia into a gender-equal society,

Re: Feminist dorms are set to transform Cambodia
That would be meaningless overkill;/they mastered those and other hausfrau skills long before living in a dorm. They need to be freed from stereotypical roles and introduced to a program that inculcates practical critical thinking.jmagic wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 4:25 pmCooking, cleaning, ironing, etc.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 8:08 am great idea, many countries have female only bus sections train cars, taxi's

A worthy pursuit not currently encouraged.

Boys can stay at pagodas for free to attend uni. I know a young guy from a very poor family who's lived at Wat Lanka for 5-6 years in return for helping out around the Wat. Women not allowed, afaik.

Re: Feminist dorms are set to transform Cambodia
when i lived across the tonle sap in 2008 , next door to the wat, i'd often take the ferry across and there were many young monks (8-15) heading off to school in the city, often would talk with them as they loved to practice their english. All nice young kids who understood education was the only way to improve their lives

Re: Feminist dorms are set to transform Cambodia
Granted, it might have been sarcasm. But this country is a bastion of male chauvinist oinkers, both foreign and domestic. I just assume the worst.

Re: Feminist dorms are set to transform Cambodia
I don't see it as particularly feminist, whatever the blurb says. It's just an organization that has set up some spaces where young women can concentrate on improving themselves, rather than getting distracted by the usual family / marriage nonsense before they have any skills.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
