Although Cambodia is working its way towards gender equality, going from 112 to 99 on the gender gap index from 2016 to 2017, there is still a lot of work to be done to close the gender disparity between women and men in Cambodia. “Men are gold, women are cloth.” This is a Cambodian proverb that indicates men cannot be tarnished whereas women, once dirtied, cannot be completely clean again. This proverb hinders the efforts of a gender equal society as it sets a foundation for how women and men are expected to be and to behave in society.
In Cambodia, for the most part, women are valued as virgins until they become married, when their bodies are solely for their husbands. In certain situations, women are considered worthless to society if they have sex or, sadly, are raped before marriage, which puts them in a vulnerable position in society.
There are also informal laws that more traditional families heed to Chbap Srey, the women code of conduct, and Chbap Prosh, the men code of conduct. These laws instruct women and men on their roles as wives and husbands. For men, they are seen as the protector, strength, and head of the family. For women, they are instructed to respect their husbands and to be passive and patient in any types of situations.
The laws, in addition to the customs and practices of the Cambodian society, therefore, restricts women the opportunity to express their rights as they are often viewed as subordinates in their families; the men are perceived as the heads of the households and tend to make all the decisions within the family. This, further, creates a space for domestic violence to take place especially when most women are not aware of their rights.
To prevent such occurrences, a domestic violence law was adopted in 2005 to protect the rights of women. However, to this day, there is still a huge gap between the domestic violence law and the implementation of the law. Thus, Cambodian women are unable to embrace “active citizenship” – or the claiming of legally and morally enforceable rights in relation to the state.
In the report conducted in 2014, it was discovered that 75% of the women surveyed thought that wives should remain silent about domestic violence to keep the family together. Because of the laws, especially the Chbap Srey, no one outside the family has the right to be involved in family matters.
Women are undervalued and the expectations of women and of their roles can be translated into the current situation of women in Cambodia in terms of economic participation, health, educational attainment, and political representation.
There is an injustice in the system discriminating women and preventing them from receiving the resources they need for a gender equal society. This reflects on the culture and practice of the modern society, the challenge between ideologies of the conservative and modern society in terms of gender equality. Lastly, today, many organizations including GADC are making great efforts to achieve gender equality in Cambodia, finding ways to go forward in raising awareness to ensure women understand their claim to their rights.
