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. Our mission is 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. PROTECTION: to protect survivors by providing legal assistance and facilitating physical and psychological healing leading to economic and social integration. PREVENTION: to prevent violence against women and children through engaging with the community, local authorities, and law enforcement in establishing a safe, involved, and supportive community. ADVOCACY: to advocate directly and through alliances for legislative and policy reforms to uphold women's human rights through rigorous enforcement of the law.
