Abstract

As a result of several decades of internal war, women make up between 60 to 65 percent of Cambodia’s adult population. They play a vital role in the economy. In addition to regular family activities, they contribute significantly to all sectors of food production, such as processing, preservation and marketing. To study the traditional role of women in Cambodian fisheries, PADEK (Partnership for Development in Cambodia), together with the authorities of the province of Prey Veng, recently organized a national workshop on Women in Cambodian Fisheries.
