Announcement Description

Cambodian Women’s Crisis Center (CWCC) is a local non-government organization founded and registered with the Ministry of the Interior in Phnom Penh in 1997 by a group of women who witnessed the suffering of women and children from the consequence of war and from various forms of violence against women. CWCC’s vision is “Women and girls are living in peace, security, and dignity and enjoying their universal human rights” and it is operating with mission “To empower women and girls to claim their universal human rights to personal security and to equal participation in community, civil, economic, social and cultural life”. CWCC activities are focusing on three main areas, (1) Prevention, (2) protection and (3) advocacy.

As part of the prevention program, the project titled” Community Action for Safe Migration And Reduction of Trafficking (CASMART)” has been implemented in 67 villages, 10 communes of 3 districts of Banteay Meanchey province with support from the SOLIDAR SUISSE. This project lasts for four years from January 2021 to December 2024.

The proposed CASMART project is designed to address the need of community members by building knowledge of rural poor on issues related to Safe Migration and Trafficking. Key activities of the project are: strengthening capacity of duty bearers to prevent and intervene in cases related to trafficking and at the same time community members including community-based protection networks, survivors of trafficking/ exploitation and deportees are empowered and built confidence to report cases to duty bearers for services and be peer educators to change behavior towards safe migration. The project also facilitates men and women who are vulnerable to trafficking including deportees’ access to services including psychological, social and legal. Poor community members are also supported to create saving scheme and operate small businesses for household income so that they could overcome impact of COVID-19 and not to take risks in terms of undocumented migration.
