Young women in Cambodia still face challenges in accessing higher education. The enrollment of female students at universities is increasing as more people understand the value of education and support their daughters to access higher education. However, the number of female students is still lower than the number of male students in higher education or university because of the following three main factors: institutional mechanisms, the legal framework, and economic, social and cultural issues as Cambodian people remain in their old, traditional ways when it comes to concept of women. This article explores the opportunities that have been provided to young women to pursue higher education, particularly at the university level, and provides some recommendations for addressing the challenges women face in accessing higher education in Cambodia, such as scholarships, dormitories, stipends, convenient infrastructure and strengthening and implementing relevant laws.
