A crash course in changing the world.
Gender inequality was real life back in 2014. During this time , the country ranked 96th out of 148 in the 2013 Human Development Report's Gender Inequality Index. Often girls did not finish their formal education, being forced to drop out or miss school days to care for siblings or work to provide income for the family.
The global program to provide higher education for the women in Cambodia has helped women to become more independent and decrease disparity in the country. One young newly-educated Cambodian woman states "The cycle of poverty is breaking. Through empowering our women with knowledge, poverty and women trafficking in our country has diminished. I cannot be more thankful."
