Women in Cambodia - analysing the role and influence of women in rural Cambodian society with a special focus on forming religious identityWekemann, Ursula 12 1900 (has links)
This study analyses the role and influence of rural Khmer women on their families and
society, focusing on their formation of religious identity.
Based on literature research, the role and influence of Khmer women is examined
from the perspectives of history, the belief systems that shape Cambodian culture and
thinking, and Cambodian social structure.
The findings show that although very few Cambodian women are in high leadership
positions, they do have considerable influence, particularly within the household and
extended family. Along the lines of their natural relationships they have many
opportunities to influence the formation of religious identity, through sharing their lives
and faith in words and deeds with the people around them.
A model based on Bible storying is proposed as a suitable strategy to strengthen the
natural influence of rural Khmer women on forming religious identity and use it
intentionally for the spreading of the gospel in Cambodia. / Research Institute for Theology and Religion / M. Th. (Missiology)
