Khmer women future.
The author elaborates on his conception of the role of women
in society and asserts his will to make gender equality a
reality. He points to the fact that in any community where
women are ill treated, human rights in general are far from
being respected for both women and men. Conversely, when women
rights start to be duly respected, the whole community will
see an improvement in the general human rights situation. For
the good of Cambodian women and the good of our nation, he
encourages women to take up social and political
responsibilities and launches an appeal for the empowerment of
women, especially in the framework of the upcoming communal
and national elections. Regarding women social status, he
considers that financial independence is the basis of human
dignity. Hence, the importance of education and professional
training. Among a series of affirmative actions, he advocates
a system of scholarships for young girls from poor rural
families to prevent them from dropping out of school and
to encourage them to pursue higher education.
