CCHR 2nd Newsletter​: Justice for Women - An analysis of women’s fair trial rights in Cambodia

Dear all,

Today CCHR has the great pleasure of issuing the second ' trial monitoring and the promotion of fair trials' newsletter to celebrate Women Rights Day. The theme of this months newsletter is: Justice for Women - An analysis of women’s fair trial rights in Cambodia.

A MESSAGE FROM CCHR PRESIDENT ON WOMEN RIGHTS DAY":

“It is with great pleasure that I join in the celebration of International Women’s Rights day. It is important that the world recognises the rights of all women to equality in every facet of our society.
I welcome Cambodia’s commitment to women’s rights through its ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) which came into force on 12 January 2011. Ratification of the CEDAW Optional Protocol means that individuals and groups who believe their rights have been violated can now submit complaints to the UN Committee dealing with women’s rights, subject to certain conditions. Individuals and groups now have an additional means of seeking redress for violations of women’s rights.

It is important to acknowledge that women, particularly young women and girls, remain discriminated against on a massive scale. This includes discrimination within the legal system. With a view to addressing discrimination and promoting equality within the Cambodian justice system, the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR), as part of its Trial Monitoring Project, has monitored a number of issues regarding women rights in trials in Cambodia. Issue Two of the Trial Monitoring & the Promotion of Fair Trials newsletter entitled: ‘Justice for women: An analysis of women’s fair trial rights in Cambodia’ looks at some of these issues.”

Ou Virak, President of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR)

Thanks and kind regards,

CCHR
