While Cambodia has made repeated general commitments to gender equality, including ratifying the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and referencing it in the Constitution, few practical steps have been taken in the law to dispel the negative gender stereotypes that persist throughout Cambodian society. While Cambodia does have a Ministry devoted to Women’s Affairs, that institution has the second lowest allocation of funds from the national budget of any ministry and is the only Ministry with a significant number of women in leadership roles.
