Cambodia: Country Gender Analysis

Asian Development Bank (adb)

No RPS114210, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Abstract: This publication presents a profile of gender equity in Cambodia. Recognizing significant achievements in reducing gender gaps, it also notes significant challenges in a country where traditional norms and low levels of education and literacy still limit girls’ and women’s options. Cambodia ranks 91st out of 109 countries, according to the Gender Empowerment Measure. The publication offers an institutional assessment of the laws, policies, and the national machinery for gender equity and women’s empowerment. It concludes by taking stock of recent Asian Development Bank (ADB) contributions to gender equity and recommending ways to strengthen gender mainstreaming in ongoing and future ADB operations.
