Introduction to the Province Banteay Meanchey Province is located in the northwestern region the Kingdom of Cambodia, 360 km from Phnom Penh. A 386 km railroad through the province links Poipet to Phnom Penh. The province has a shared border with Thailand and holds four border crossings. At present, three of these checkpoints have high volumes of import and export activities (the Poipet International Border Checkpoint in Poipet City) the Malay Regional Border Checkpoint in Malay District and the Boeung Trokourn Regional Checkpoint in Tmor Pork District). Agriculture is an important sector raising the living conditions of farmers through paddy rice, tapioca and other crop production for the export markets. As rice production in the province has been increasing, the provincial government has realized that drainage system are necessary to support cultivation and the local authority has developed irrigation systems such as reservoirs, master canals and sub-irrigation in the province. Beside agriculture, the province has abundant mining deposits being currently developed as well as those waiting to be developed such as iron ore and marble. The existence of various historical temples and bird sanctuaries also attract many tourists to the province. In Poipet City, there is the Poipet O’ Neang Special Economic Zone, which is expected to contribute to industrial development in the province. Banteay Meanchey has great potential as a hub for business, trade and tourism between Cambodia and Thailand. II.

  • Exploring Sexual Coercion Within Marriage in Rural Cambodia
    Exploring Sexual Coercion within Marriage in Rural Cambodia Rany Saing Primary Supervisor: Dr. Panteá Farvid Secondary Supervisor: Professor Jane Koziol-McLain A Thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (Psychology) Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences 19 June 2017 1 Abstract Sexual coercion within marriage includes any acts from forcing or attempting to force a spouse to engage in sexual behavior against his or her will. This can be through violence, threats, verbal insistence, deception, cultural expectation, or economic circumstance. Married women in Cambodia, particularly in rural areas, are bound strongly with the traditional gender norms and women’s code of conduct (Chbab Srey). Chbab Srey requires the women to do household chores, stay at home, strongly respect their husbands, highly value their husband, and keep any spousal argument secret. This norm also requires women to be submissive in sexual matters. The present study aimed to explore sexual coercion within heterosexual marriage in Aoral and Thpong districts in Kampong Speu, Cambodia. This exploratory qualitative study conducted in-depth interviews with 11 married women, aged 19 to 47, about their view and experience of marriage, their sexual lives within marriage, and experience of coercive sex within marriage. The research was thematically analyzed and eight themes were identified. The results showed that there was strong connection between traditional gender norms and women’s coercive victimization within marriage in Cambodia. As a result of their coercive sexual experiences, the women experienced a lack of bodily autonomy and sexual desire. Participants who have experienced mild sexual coercion such as verbal coercion, psychological coercion or arousal coercion, are not able to acknowledge it as a problem because coercive sex was too tightly bound with traditional gender norms.
