Cambodian women are generally active in worshipping at Buddhist temples and participating in religious ceremonies, particularly during the thngai sil (English: "holy days").
 Some women not only participate as worshippers, but become Buddhist nuns (yeay chi) themselves, especially the widowed and the elderly.
