Eighteen partners from eleven organizations (Garden of Hope, SCWO, WAO, PS The Children, CSAGA, SALT, the Ardhanary Institute, IJM Cambodia, Precious Women, CLRDC, and Green Pasture Inn) and twelve countries met in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on May 11-12, 2015, to discuss how to create girl-friendly cities within the framework of dignity and human rights for girls in Asia.
During the two-day meeting with our great campaign partners and organizations in Cambodia, we focused on the three main themes of (1) personal safety and health rights, (2) increasing participation and removing stereotypes in education, and (3) policies and practices in realizing the promises of CEDAW and other international treaties.
