The strategic planhas been prepared based on the results of the review of achievements of the former strategicplan, the Neary Rattanak II (2004–2008) and the findings and recommendations in theCambodia Gender Assessment “A Fair Share for Women” 2008.Neary Rattanak III contributes to gender mainstreaming in key government reform programssuch as Decentralization and Deconcentration Reform, Public Administration Reform, PublicFinancial Management Reform, Legal and Judicial Reform, and Land Reform. It also reflects thecontributions and linkages to the implementation of national plans and policies including theCambodian Millennium Development Goals; the National Strategic Development Plan; theEducation for All policy; the National Action Plan to Combat Violence Against Women; theNational Program on the Promotion of Social Morality and Women’s Value; the National ActionPlan on the Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation; the Social Security Policy;the Strategic Plan on Women, Girls and HIV/AIDS; and the sectoral Gender MainstreamingAction Plans.

IntroductionThe Ministry of Women's Affairs (MOWA) and the Cambodia National Council for Women(CNCW) make up the National Machinery for the promotion of gender equality and theempowerment of women. The MOWA acts as a catalyst and advocate to encourage publicinstitutions, civil society and the private sector to integrate gender equality into their policiesand programs, and as a coordinator and facilitator. It is responsible for monitoring andevaluating policies and programs to assess their contributions to achieving the Government’sgoals in promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women.In 1999, MoWA prepared and implemented its five year strategic plan, called “NearyRattanak”. In 2003, MoWA in partnership with line ministries/institutions at national and subnationallevel reviewed the effectiveness and efficiency of the implementation of thestrategic plan “Neary Rattanak I” and developed “Neary Rattanak II” which was considered animportant part of the Rectangular Strategy of the Royal Government of Cambodia in its thirdmandate.In 2008, in the fourth mandate of the Royal Government, and under the leadership ofSamdach Aka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom ofCambodia, the Rectangular Strategy for Growth, Employment, Equity and Efficiency, Phase IIwas established, which recognizes that “women are the backbone of the economy andsociety”. In this context, MoWA has developed its third 5‐year strategic plan, the NearyRattanak III. The strategy aims to ensure gender responsive national policies, legislation andreform programs; to support the economic empowerment of women; ensure legal protectionfrom violence and sexual and labor exploitation; to promote change in attitude and behaviorthat discriminate against women; to develop the capacity of women; and address barriers inorder for women to access and claim their right to fully participate and benefit fromeconomic and social development, also as decision‐makers.Five Year Strategic Plan 2009 – 2013 “Neary Rattanak III”1

Section I:Progress on Promotion of Gender Equality and theEmpowerment of Women in CambodiaI. Achievements in Implementation of the Neary Rattanak IIIn March 2008, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MoWA) in partnership with its developmentpartners organized a congress to review the implementation of its second Five Year StrategicPlan, the Neary Rattanak II (2004‐2008), and to identify future directions for Neary RattanakIII (2009‐2013).In implementing the Five Year Strategy, the Royal Government of Cambodia , through MoWAand line ministries and relevant partners, had successfully contributed to promoting genderresponsive national policy and legislation; increasing women’s participation in decisionmakingat all levels; economic empowerment of women; combating violence against women,and the development of related laws and law enforcement; improved health of women andgirls, HIV/AIDS prevention and nutrition for women and children; participation of girls ineducation, and adult women in literacy programs; and the promotion of social values.There is a clear shift from agriculture to industry and services for both men and women;wage employment has increased and women’s share of wage employment has achievedparity in agriculture and industry. Through the Women’s Development Centers, women havereceived vocational training and counseling on entrepreneurship development to increasetheir employment opportunities and improve their livelihood options, with the overall aim ofeconomic development.Excellent progress has been achieved in higher enrollment rates and increased gender parityat the primary school level. Enrollment rates and gender parity has also improved at higherlevels of education. Near gender equity in literacy rates and mean level of education amongyoung people under 20 years of age has been achieved, a reflection of the significantimprovements in the primary education system. Institutions responsible for educationcontinue to consider gender concerns in education sector policy development.Very good progress has also been achieved in strengthening the legal framework to protectwomen. Awareness and understanding of gender equality and women’s rights have beenraised and incorporated in the preparation and implementation of laws and training. In 2005,the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Protection of Victims was adopted bythe National Assembly, and the related National Action Plan to Combat Violence againstWomen has been adopted by the Council of Ministers. The Law on Suppression of HumansTrafficking and Sexual Exploitation was adopted in 2008 and the National Action Plan is underpreparation.In the health sector, excellent progress has been achieved in advancing the health status ofwomen and girls, in improved awareness of their rights, and in improved access to primaryhealth care, use of vaccines and, as well as in information on HIV/AIDS and prevention ofsexually transmitted diseases (STD) and malaria. The overall HIV adult prevalence rate wasFive Year Strategic Plan 2009 – 2013 “Neary Rattanak III”2

Violence against WomenVery good progress has also been achieved in strengthening the legal framework to addressviolence against women including: the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence andProtection of Victims; the related National Action Plan to Combat Violence Against Women;and the Law on Suppression of Trafficking in Humans and Sexual Exploitation, which isconsistent with the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons,Especially Women and Children. However, violence against women remains widely prevalentin Cambodia with indications of increasing incidence of at least some forms of gender‐basedviolence, particularly rape. Putting into place the administrative mechanisms and guidelinesfor effective implementation of new laws, and addressing the attitudes and behavior whichunderlie gender‐based violence and the stigmatization of survivors and victims of violenceremain a considerable challenge.Women in Public Decision‐making and PoliticsAlthough there is considerable increase in women’s participation in the legislative branchincluding the Senate, National Assembly, Capital, Provincial, Municipal, District, Khan,Commune/Sangkat Councils and Board of Governors, representation of women in theexecutive branch of government remains low, particularly in senior decision‐making positionsat the national level and in provincial and district administration. There are also very fewwomen represented in the judicial branch – as judges, prosecutors or lawyers.Key challenges remain to be addressed in the promotion of women’s participation indecision‐making; these include traditional beliefs and stereotyping, that women are not wellsuited for high positions and decision‐making. The additional burden women face in their roleas care‐givers and household work remain considerable barriers for women to participatefully in decision‐making. Moreover, many women lack experience in leadership andmanagement in politics and public office. Capacity development specifically targeting womenin this field is important.Gender MainstreamingAlthough, there is good progress in mainstreaming gender in policies, programs andmechanisms to support gender mainstreaming at national and sub‐national levels thecapacity for gender analysis and evidence‐based advocacy remains weak. Harmonizinggender mainstreaming plans with sector strategies and monitoring mechanisms, andmobilizing adequate resources for effective implementation, remains a challenge.III. Laws and National Policies Responding to Women’s Empowerment and RightsTo date, Cambodia has developed and adopted several laws and policies that protect therights, freedoms, and welfare of Cambodian women and men.The Constitution of Cambodia, adopted in 1993 clearly states that “men and women haveequal rights before the law and enjoy equal participation in political, economic, social andcultural life; equality in marriage and family; employment and equal pay for the same work. Italso includes measures to prevent and eliminate of all forms of discrimination andexploitation of women”.Five Year Strategic Plan 2009 – 2013 “Neary Rattanak III”5

The Rectangular Strategy for Growth, Employment, Equity and Efficiency, Phase II,recognizes that “women are the backbone of the economy and society”. The governmentcontinues to implement policies and make provisions for increasing the enrollment of girls informal education through increased scholarships, dormitories, ensuring safety for girls andincrease the number of women teachers; promote women in decision‐making and providetraining and skills for women at all levels; increasing women’s participation in civil service andpublic administration; capacity development of women to stand as candidates for communecouncil elections, increase job opportunities for women and protect their rights; continue tosupport entrepreneurship development and provide micro‐ and small credit for women; andcontinue to implement the law on prevention of domestic violence and protection of victimsthrough provision of timely and effective protection and services to victims by cooperatingwith relevant institutions and development partners.The National Strategic Development Plan and the Cambodia Millennium DevelopmentGoals highlight the government’s commitment to reduce gender disparities in alldevelopment sectors and the need to put in place effective measures to remove barriers thatwomen face, and increase opportunities for women to fully participate and benefit fromdevelopment. In addition, the third goal of the CMDG focuses on promotion of genderequality and the empowerment of women through reducing gender gaps in education at alllevels, increasing women’s participation in government and ensuring equal wages betweenmen and women.Cambodia has signed and ratified the international Convention on the Elimination of AllForms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) on September 22, 1992. This Conventionincludes recommendations to reduce exploitation and discrimination against women and toincrease measures to promote women’s status and rights. CEDAW provides a basis forequality between men and women by ensuring equal opportunity in public and political lifeincluding participation in election, standing for election, access to education, health andemployment. Moreover, the Convention stipulates that each member state must createappropriate measures, including laws and affirmative action, to ensure the rights andfreedom of women.Five Year Strategic Plan 2009 – 2013 “Neary Rattanak III”6
