12 March 2026audio available

Members of two communities were arbitrarily blocked by authorities and made to return home while travelling to a planned International Women’s Day celebration in Preah Vihear province yesterday. Around 80 members of the Sameakki Rieb Roy community and 60 members of the Trapeang Kor Koh community were told by local commune police that they could not continue to the event because it was no longer International Women’s Day.

Other participants were able to attend the event, which was organized by the Ruessei Srok Land Community in Preah Vihear’s Rovieng district. Community members and the district governor delivered speeches during the event. Participants called on authorities to respect women’s rights and resolve their land conflict, including the return of community members’ land.
