Cambodia’s political parties say they are hoping to get more women candidates to run in local elections next year.
Some say they could potentially double the number of women representing their parties in commune councils after the elections in June 2012.
Mu Sochua, a former minister of women’s affairs and current representative of the main opposition Sam Rainsy Party, said women are well equipped to handle local issues like land grabs, poverty, unemployment and lack of education.
“We women must address issues that women are facing,” she told VOA Khmer. “Therefore, we have to enter into politics. And being in politics means that we will be able to solve national issues that women are facing. We have to start from local commune council elections.”
