Many women entrepreneurs - whether they manage large, small or micro businesses - don't participate in the business circles that decision-makers know and consult. A majority of women entrepreneurs are isolated in marginal economic areas such as micro and informal enterprises; in some countries, they account for up to 70% of such businesses. And trade organizations - ministries, chambers of commerce, export programmes, associations - don't reach out specifically to women, expecting women's organizations to bridge the gap.

Despite gender equality being recognized as a legitimate goal for humanity and stipulated in the Millennium Development Goals, progress is still slow, with gender norms and perceptions proving a challenge in many countries, including Cambodia. Trade, undoubtedly an important aspect of globalization, has notable impact on growth, employment and business opportunities, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. It influences income distribution between men and women, and can have significant consequences for social and gender equality. Cambodia remains one of the poorest countries in East Asia with 34% of households living below the national poverty line.
