Communities across eight provinces and Phnom Penh are celebrating International Women’s Day 2026 by joining events from 3-11 March. Land and forest communities, trade unionists, civil society members, youth, and local authorities participated in events in Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Speu, Kampong Thom, Kampot, Koh Kong, Phnom Penh, and Preah Vihear. Additional events are planned in Preah Vihear and Kampong Speu provinces in the coming days. The events are expected to involve a total of about 2,700 participants.

Community members delivered speeches, organised solidarity meals, and held musical and dance performances, blessing ceremonies, and question-and-answer sessions. Among other issues, participants highlighted key issues related to women’s rights to participate in political and public life, labour rights violations, limited access to social protection, over-indebtedness, gender-based violence, and harassment against women’s rights activists and human rights defenders.

The destruction of civilian homes during a conflict goes against the Geneva Conventions and international human rights law, regardless of which side of the contested border the houses stand.
