International Women’s Day is a public holiday in Cambodia.We asked ten students “What does International Women’s Day mean to you?”
“I think that this 8 March Day is celebrated to show that men and women are equal to work in any sector. And I do support equal rights for men and women because men are not always stronger than women.”
“8 March is a day on which the Cambodian government gives women the rights to be equal with men as they are able to work the same as men even as a construction worker or civil servant.”
“I feel very special on this 8 March Day because I feel that my right is promoted. Women and men’s rights are equal, but the most interesting thing is that women’s rights have one day of celebration and men have not.”
“I think this 8 March was created for giving value to women and they are also considered like mother of the world. “
“I think that this 8 March is very important for female as in the past, the women’s rights had not been promoted, but now it is promoted hence female and male’s rights are equal.”
“I think that this 8 March is really good for all women in the whole country and it also promotes the women in this country as well as around the world to be equal with men. This 8 March is created for women to show off their braveness and their own talents.”
