Cambodia

The strides that international penal law has undergone over the past twenty years are remarkable. However, in terms of investigating and prosecuting sexual violence as international crimes, significant shortcomings are still apparent.

With the adoption of a new Land Law in 2001, the Royal Goverment of Cambodia initiated a comprehensive land reform process. In this sort film five women describe their own experiences of the Joint Land Titling process. 

Women's political role in Cambodia is hampered by gender based discrimination, but woman have much to say about local political issues. See a series of interviews filmed at a workshop in Kratie province in December 2008. 

This study by Mehrak Mehrvar, Chhay Kim Sore and My Sambath aims to identify emerging issues regarding women's access to Land in Cambodia while examining women's participation in the process of systematic land registration. A particular focus is thereby at cases of seperated, divorced and abandoned relationships that occured prior to systematic land registration.
