CUP celebrates the 99th Anniversary of the International Women's Day on 8 March
Dr. Chea Chamroeun, National Assembly Member and his wife presided the celebration which was prepared by CUP in the afternoon of 04 March 2010.
This year the International Women's Day is celebrated on the topic of participation for the promotion of women's and youth's potential to develop the nation.
Dr. Chea Chamroeun gave a speech to the Cambodian Red Cross Youth saying that this
anniversary is not only celebrated in Cambodia but all over the world and it aims to remember the women's bravery in the struggle for freedom, peace and social development. Social development includes receiving the right respect, freedom of participation in the development of the family, society and the nation.
Dr. Chea Chamroeun stressed that bravery and undertakings of women are the stimulators who insure the stability and equity of development. He added that every discrimination and rejection of women in any social and economic activities demonstrates the weakness of the culture, unacceptable to the world. Especially violence and trafficking of woman are a distress not only for women, their family or community, but also for society.
Dr. Chea Chamroeun reminded the students to do good things with morality, virtue and humanity and to try to follow the example of Dr. Bun Rany Hun Sen, president of the Cambodian Red Cross, in giving relieve to human beings from all kinds of pain and suffering.
On this occasion, the Cambodian Youth Red Cross Club of the University has announced to establish a funding box to collect money to help victims.
