Abstract
This paper explores Cambodia’s progress in gender equality over the last 25 years, focusing on its adherence to international human rights treaties, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the implementation of the Neary Ratanak Strategic Plan. Despite advancements, challenges persist in women’s empowerment. The study presents a case study of a Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) development intervention to promote women’s empowerment at the commune and village levels. It suggests key strategies to enhance gender equality, including providing training and awareness, promoting participation, offering job opportunities and financial support, facilitating decision-making roles, and enforcing laws related to women’s rights. The findings underscore the importance of training and networking opportunities for female WASH suppliers, emphasizing the need for more training, education, and awareness. The paper concludes with implications for policy to enhance gender equality and women’s empowerment in Cambodia, aligning with the Neary Ratanak V strategy’s goals.
