Women in Cambodia, due to the influence of the dominant Khmer culture, are traditionally expected to be modest and soft-spoken. They are to be well-mannered,[3] industrious,[4] and hold a sense of belonging to the household. It is expected that they act as the family's caregivers and caretakers,[3] financial administrators,[4] and serve as the "preserver of the home". As financial administrators, women can be identified as having household authority at the familial level.[5] Khmer women are expected to maintain virginity until marriage, become faithful wives,[3] and act as advisors to their husbands.[4] Women in Cambodia have also be known as “light” walkers-- "light" walking and refinement of the Khmer women is further described as being "quiet in […] movements that one cannot hear the sound of their silk skirt rustling".[4]
In recent years, women have become more active in the traditionally male-dominated spheres of work and politics in Cambodia.
