Summary of publication
Over the last three years, UN Women has linked global and local processes to transform the environment in which VAW/G is understood and addressed in Cambodia. In June 2012, with financial support from the Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), UN Women launched the project, "Strengthening a participatory, evidence based formulation of a comprehensive action plan to end violence against women and girls in Cambodia". The results achieved through this project have contributed considerably to this change.
The project approach aimed from the outset to establish new expectations for duty bearers and rights holders, in particular in relation to accountability and transparency. By showcasing options for increasing inclusion and participation, this project is strengthening democratic processes and increasing voice, choice and options available to women and girls.
