Host Country Profile

Cambodia appears to be a party to all core international human rights treaties. This includes the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women. The country has been acting upon its commitments to the treaty promoting gender equality and social inclusion across policies, projects, and programs.

Cambodia has made significant steps in achieving gender equality over the last two decades. However, substantial gender inequalities persist, creating barriers to the equal participation of marginalized and disadvantaged groups in the cultural, economic, and political lives of society. Such an approach has been impeding inclusive and sustainable development. The country and development organizations operating within its territory have accumulated substantial expertise in GESI mainstreaming and GRB.
