INTERVIEW
Dare and Dream:
TAKING A LEAP OF FAITH
WITH YOUNG WOMEN IN
CAMBODIA
Reporter’s Note:
Gender equality in education matters to
the personal development of young women
from one generation to another. Yet, to
unlock the potentials of young women,
general education alone is not enough as
the difficulties that stop them from utilizing
their right to education may come from
poverty, cultural norms, long distance
from school, inadequate resources and so
forth. According to UNESCO’s report on
Cambodia’s education in 2015, take dropout
rate for instance, a gap is found not only
between male and female but also between
urban and rural areas, the latter having the
disadvantage. Such phenomena are not
unusual in Cambodia and have continuously
aroused increasing attention.
Bearing education and development
difficulties faced by the girls in rural areas
in mind, Dare & Dream resists to stay silent
and has a plan to help.
