AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document review's May Ebihara's previous work on the status of Cambodian rural women based on fieldwork undertaken in 1990-2006. The aim is to explore effects of political repression on male-female relations and village life. The discussion shows that the upheavals of the war years in the 1970s have permanently changed male-female relations including the demographic balance because of high male casualty.
