Long time ago, Women lived bitterly with bad conditions for their lives. They did not have equal rights as men did. However, Cambodian women in the modern time have changed their faces because they play the important roles not only in the families, but also in the societies.
According to my observation, most women have become family breadwinners and leaders because they have had equal rights to accept high education and have jobs to earn for their living. Moreover, some Cambodian women play the important roles in the societies. Some of them have become commune chiefs and the commune councils, so they can work to help other women ,have become members of parliament and leaders of some ministries. Furthermore, some women have become managers of private companies and non-organizations.
All in all, women play the important roles not only in the government ,but also private institutions, so women themselves have to study hard to have enough abilities to work.
