International Women's Day, Cambodia

On March 8, 2012, some 400 women from Borei Keila and Boeung Kak Lake united in a march to celebrate International Women's Day and to protest against the violence committed against them by the authorities during the recent forced evictions in Phnom Penh.

Land grabbing is an ongoing issue in Cambodia and force is the common method used by the authorities.

Throughout my stay in Cambodia, I have read about and witnessed the active role Cambodian women take in defending their rights.

Although Cambodian women are sometimes perceived to be weak in a men dominated society, I find that Cambodian women are, on many occasions, at the forefront of the fight against human rights violations.

Happy 101st Anniversary of International Women's Day!!!





Women take to the streets

Demonstrators carry photographs of women who have been the victims of domestic violence during a march to mark International Women’s Day yesterday in Phnom Penh’s Tuol Kork district. The photographs are streaked with red to represent blood and the suffering of women at the hands of local authorities and their husbands. Pha Lina

From prisons to the pavements of Phnom Penh, women had a strong message for the Cambodian government on International Womens’ Day: Stop the violence and stop the discrimination.

Four hundred Boeung Kak lake and Borei Keila evictees marched through Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district with placards emblazoned with images of eviction violence used against their communities by authorities.

We, the residents of Boeung Kak and Borei Keila, request the local authority and company owners to stop evicting us and stop using violence against women,” villager representative Tep Vanny said.

However, the womens’ march against police brutality was cut short by a 100-strong force of military and national police, who ejected the villagers from the streets due to their impact on traffic congestion.

Honoring Women of Courage

About the Authors: Melanne Verveer serves as the Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues at the Department of State, and Isobel Coleman is a senior fellow and director of the Civil Society, Markets, and Democracy Initiative at the Council on Foreign Relations.

The past year represented some extraordinary moments for women. It began with a revolution in Tahrir Square, where women organized and led historic protests. It ended with a Nobel Peace Prize recognizing three extraordinary leaders who have led women in Liberia and Yemen to reach for democracy and human rights.

2012 is off to its own strong start. In honor of today's International Women's Day, the United States is honoring the unique contributions of women around the world with two special award ceremonies.

Today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is hosting the 2012 International Women of Courage Awards Ceremony with special guests First Lady Michelle Obama and two of those three amazing Nobel Prize winners, Leymah Gbowee from Liberia and Tawakkol Karman from Yemen. The prestigious award recognizes women around the globe who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment, often at great personal risk.

Zin Mar Aung -- an activist in Burma jailed for expressing her mind. Jineth Bedoya Lima -- a Colombian journalist shedding a spotlight on atrocities of sexual and gender-based violence. The Honorable Maryam Durani -- a member of the Kandahar Provincial Council in Afghanistan who refused to let death threats deter her from entering the political arena. These women and the six other winners this year are leaders and doers. They hail from every corner of the world, but the challenges are all too alike. Recipients have endured beatings and kidnappings. They have fought to receive an education and to access business loans. But no matter the obstacle, none of them was willing to accept failure.

Analysis: Employed, empowered

Today is International Women’s Day, and there is no better occasion to shine a light on the valuable contributions of women and girls in Cambodian society.

According to the National Institute of Statistics, 52.4 per cent of Cambodian women in 2009 were self-employed, but just 0.3 per cent of the women in Cambodia were classified as employers.

Women are also twice as likely to face wage discrimination or find themselves in unpaid work.

The garment industry is one of the biggest employers in the country, with an estimated 350,000 employees.

According to the International Labour Organisation, 90.7 per cent of them are women, and their remittances support an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians.

Two young women travel from the dumps of Cambodia to the White House.

Two Cambodian teenagers who had formerly scavenged the garbage dumps of Phnom Penh have reversed their fortunes and were honored with a visit to the White House to meet with First Lady Michelle Obama on International Women’s Day.

Chen Sokha, 16, and Oun Sreyna, 18, were notified of the surprise invitation to the U.S. president's mansion while preparing to take part in a women’s conference with the Chicago-based A New Day Cambodia (ANDC), a non-governmental organization supporting their education.

Chen Sokha was orphaned in Svay Rieng province at the age of six and forced to scavenge for recyclable materials after moving to the Cambodian capital.

Cambodia bans women's day rally: organisers

Tuesday, March 08, 2011
AFP

PHNOM PENH — Cambodia has banned a public rally to mark International Women's Day, organisers have said, amid growing concern about a crackdown on freedom of expression in the country.

Phnom Penh municipal authorities rejected a request by trade unions and non-governmental organisations to mark the day's 100th anniversary with a large gathering in the capital, the Cambodian Women's Movement Organisation said.

No reason was given for the refusal, organisers said.

Unions, NGOs and activists gathered today on the capital’s periphery in Meanchey district to celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, after City Hall had refused their request to hold the event at Wat Botum park.

Meas Morkort, president of the Cambodian Women’s Movement Organisation, called on women to speak out and fight for their rights so they could contribute to building a developed society.

Organisers said nearly 2,000 people were in attendance, while about 10 district and commune police could be seen monitoring the event.

Heroines of Cambodia

Letter to The Phnom Penh Post

All female survivors of Democratic Kampuchea are heroines of Cambodia.

Seventy percent of the survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime were women; most of them were widows.

Since the collapse of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979, women have been a central force in the reconstruction of the nation.

They reshaped the nation’s economy during the tumultuous decades of the 1980s and 1990s, when civil war with the Khmer Rouge ensued and economic sanctions stunted chances for development.

Furthermore, it was through their unwavering efforts that Cambodian culture, education and traditions – which nearly vanished at the hands of the Khmer Rouge – were reinstituted in the social fabric of daily life.

I was married in 1979, but it was not voluntary. Parents on both sides agreed that we should get married. I didn't want to. I was young. I enjoyed going to parties.

When the Khmer Rouge came to power I was 13 or 14. I had to leave school because they said we couldn't go any more. The Khmer Rouge forced me to work. I had to help build a dam and do rice farming. Everyone was treated the same – women weren't treated any differently.

When the Khmer Rouge lost power my parents said I should have a husband and a family and start a new life. At first I didn't like my husband, but I had to adjust so that we could live together and raise children. Now I'm much happier.

"Refusing women the right to rally peacefully reflects the government's distrust its people," said Adams. "The Cambodian government's creeping dictatorial rule should be of real concern to the country's donors."

"The government’s refusal to allow an International Women’s Day rally first seemed like a joke. But no Cambodian government restriction on basic rights should come as a surprise anymore." - Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
(New York) - The Cambodian government should reverse its decision to refuse a permit to the Cambodian Women's Movement Organization (CWMO) for a rally in central Phnom Penh, Human Rights Watch said today. The rally was intended to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day on March 8, 2011.

The government failed to provide any reason for its rejection of a permit in a March 7, 2011 letter from Phnom Penh Governor Kep Chutema to the CWMO. Speakers and a celebration were planned. Minister of Women's Affairs Dr. Ing Kantha Phavi had previously agreed to speak at the event, but when the permit was denied, she said she was no longer available to attend.

"The government's refusal to allow an International Women's Day rally first seemed like a joke," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "But no Cambodian government restriction on basic rights should come as a surprise anymore."
