On International Women’s Day, LICADHO calls on prison authorities to offer female prisoners, particularly female juvenile prisoners, a broader range of rehabilitation opportunities to build confidence and provide them with appropriate skills to find suitable employment once released. LICADHO also calls on authorities to ensure that female prison guards are afforded the same training opportunities as male prison guards. “It is evident that, where training opportunities exist, they are largely geared towards male prisoners such as carpentry, welding or mechanics,” said Nget Sokun, LICADHO’s prison project supervisor. “There are few programs designed or adapted specifically for women and sadly, in some Cambodian prisons, women and girls have extremely limited vocational or educational opportunities.”
