National Conference

Report on the Second National Conference on Gender and Development in Cambodia:

"Securing Our Rights"

The aim of the conference was to assess the gains that have been made by the Cambodian women over the previous three years since and to critically examine the challenges that remain since the First National Conference in 1999.

 Platform for Action

Gender and Development for Cambodia (GAD/C) is a local non-government organization which has a mission to promote gender equity in social, economic and political processes in Cambodia. GAD/C carries out this mission through advocacy, networking, training and research in partnership with other Cambodian NGOs, international and multilateral organizations, state institutions and other organizations of civil society.

WELA

(Women's Empowerment Through Legal Awareness)

The project's major development objectives are:

1. To develop women's skills as individuals and as members of community structures, and to empower women to participate as decision-makers in development activities at family, community, local and national levels.

2. To support development initiatives that respond to the needs of women and address community attitudes and social structures that discriminate against women.

White Ribbon Campaign

Each year, men around the world wear a white ribbon from November 25^th , International Day for Eradication of Violence Against Women, until 10^th December which is International Human Rights Day. Wearing a white ribbon is your personal pledge never to commit violence against women. It is a personal pledge not to condone acts of violence, not to make excuses for perpetrators of violence, and not to think that any woman "asks for it". It is a pledge not to remain silent. It is a pledge to challenge the men around us to act to end violence. Violence against women is, above all, a men's issue which men themselves must address.

·  Stop all forms of

    discrimination against women

·   Stop domestic violence

·   Stop sex trafficking

·   Stop rape and sexual

     harassment

So please wear the white ribbon from 25^th November to 10^th December, and speak out in order to eliminate violence against women.
