Original report from Phnom Penh
20 March 2008
Officials from four political parties attended a two-day workshop to seek new ways of getting more women in politics, especially as candidates in the upcoming national elections.
A very small number of women hold high government positions.
There are only two women ministers, of 26 ministries, and zero provincial governors. However, some women have found seats as chiefs of communes.
UNDP officials said Thursday Cambodia had a "very low level of women in decision making positions within the legislature."

Two thumps up for the intiation - having more women in politic at all levels.
NOt according to the Yuon/Viet intruders, it ain't!
Hey, if women is not interested in politic and government, leave them alone, okay?
What we should be doing instead is help placing people where they can be at their best. That way, our productivity will be more competitive.
Fuck the UNDP!
