Taking Cambodian Voices to the GEDI Forum in London
The project team presented early findings at the SEA‑UK Gender Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity (GEDI) Forum in London, part of the British Council–SEAMEO RIHED collaboration to strengthen gender‑responsive leadership in Southeast Asian higher education.
The forum connected Cambodian partners with delegates from 11 Southeast Asian countries and UK universities, allowing exchange on what works (and what does not) in promoting women’s leadership pathways.
Insights from the forum fed directly back into the Cambodian work, sharpening the focus on intersectionality, structural barriers, and the need for long term networks rather than one off activities.
What the Data Say: Women’s Leadership in Cambodian Higher Education
A set of project infographics translates research findings into accessible visuals, showing gaps between women’s high participation in university study and their under‑representation in senior leadership roles.
The visuals highlight barriers such as informal male networks, opaque promotion criteria, and the double burden of academic work and family responsibilities, particularly in provincial institutions.
