91 days after we launched an emergency response to COVID-19 in Cambodia, hundreds of girls are safe from the virus and trafficking and over 1,000 people have the supplies they need to continue investing in those girls.

Why Girls?
We know that girls are often targeted in poor communities for the purposes of commercial sex trafficking, labour exploitation, virginity sale, and other forms of exploitation. Most victims of the commercial sex industry have no formal education and only 20% of girls in Cambodia graduate. Education not only meets the immediate need to keep girls out of vulnerable situations, but also invests in their ability to live remarkable lives. Investing in her education, health and confidence today means that she will have the tools to make smart choices that will benefit her life, her family, her future children and the world around her. Why Cambodia? Across Cambodia there are many girls who are dreaming of a better life – dreams of becoming engineers or teachers, leading a business or leading climate action. Unfortunately, most of those dreams will never happen because they’ll be faced with far too many barriers and impossible choices. For a girl, this means never realising or living out her potential. With a lack of opportunities, choices or support, young girls are extremely vulnerable to trafficking and forced prostitution. Not surprisingly, Cambodia also has one of the highest rates of exploitation in the region. We are changing that. |
