Foreword International labour standards promoting equality between men and women and human rights tools such as the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) have served as an inspiration for millions of people worldwide. These instruments reflect the international consensus on minimum standards and set an agenda for progress towards equal rights and opportunities for women and men and equitable relations between them; sharing workloads, resources and decision-making, not just at work but in every aspect of life. These key messages, on decent work and social protection, need to be communicated to those women and men - in factories, shops and offices, in the fields, at home and on the streets - who lack both a ‘voice’ and bargaining power. This Training and Resource Kit, “Women Workers Rights and Gender Equality: Easy Steps for Workers in Cambodia” is designed for them. The aim of the Kit is to facilitate training among workers with little or no education on gender equality, legal, human and health rights, and workers’ rights generally. It aims to empower women and men to improve their quality of life at work and at home. It reaches out to both women and men with the aim of harmoniously reducing gender gaps and empowering both young and old female and male workers. The Training and Resource Kit consists of a training manual and accompanying pictures and games. It was developed under the auspices of the ILO Subregional Office for East Asia (SRO- Bangkok) and the Cambodia Chapter of the ILO/Japan Asian Regional Programme on Expansion of Employment Opportunities for Women (EEOW). It was developed during 2003 to strengthen the human and workers’ rights of women and men and promote decent work opportunities in poor rural and urban communities. The Kit was developed by an international and national resource team; including Ms Rosalinda Terhorst, Ms Nelien Haspels, Ms Young Vin, Ms Aya Matsuura, Ms Phakatip Chungbhivat and a team of gender experts from Gender and Development Cambodia. The technical inputs from Mr Noun Rithy and Mr Hugo van Noord, ILO Cambodia and Ms Constance Thomas and Ms Kaat Landuyt from ILO Geneva were much appreciated. Acknowledgements also go to Ms Sugunya Voradilokkul and Ms Chi Sovanna for vital secretarial and logistical support. The Kit was tested during a validation workshop in Phnom Penh attended by representatives of ILO-EEOW national and provincial partner organizations. They contributed a high level of expertise in understanding and addressing the needs of young and old women and men surviving in rural and urban areas, factories, formal and informal work settings, as street traders and in the entertainment industry. The Kit is produced in Khmer and English for use in Cambodia. It is hoped that it will also serve as an inspiration for the development of similar products in other countries.
