AKP Phnom Penh, March 08, 2025 --

Her Majesty Queen-Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk commended and supported the Ministry of Women's Affairs for anchoring on rights, equity, and empowerment for all women and girls to celebrate the 114th International Women's Day this year.

The Cambodian Queen-Mother underlined the appreciation in her recent letter to mark the international day to fall on Mar. 8.

Her Majesty the Queen-Mother wrote that in line with current development in the world as well as in Cambodia, the theme focuses on unity to harness the power of gender equality to foster economic growth and social harmony.

She amplified that Cambodia has recognised women as the backbone of the national economy and society since the period of Sangkum Reastr Niyum under the leadership of the late King Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk until now.

As a result, women have been playing a pivotal role in Cambodia's socio-economic growth as well as politics, she added.

Thanking the Royal Government, the Ministry of Women's Affairs, stakeholders, as well as all his subjects, Her Majesty the Queen-Mother called on them to keep up with their continuous efforts to further promote gender equality in Cambodia.
