CEDAW Monitoring Report 2020
CSOs call on the Royal Government of Cambodia to take concrete measures to further implement the CEDAW Committee’s recommendations.
2020 brought to Cambodia many challenges for the field of women’s rights as well as several opportunities to engage in dialogue with government and community representatives in seeking solutions to those challenges.
Most prominent were health, education, and economic difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic that women and LGBTIQ faced at disproportionate rates. Additionally, the Royal Government of Cambodia drafted and/or enacted numerous new policies related to gender to which CSOs (including NGO-CEDAW and its network) contributed inputs. Yet, at the same time, there were numerous instances where freedom of sexual expression and freedom of speech were restricted.
