Founded in early 1997, the Cambodian Women’s Crisis Center (CWCC) is a local, non-government, not-for-profit and non-political organisation based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Its mission is to eliminate all forms of violence against women whilst providing services to victims of gender-based abuse and their children. Soon after, CWCC opened in two additional locations in Banteay Meanchey and Siem Reap provinces.

CWCC works to empower vulnerable women and girls through three strategic objectives: Protection, Prevention and Advocacy to promote a peaceful and gender-equitable society.

Legal Support for Children and Women (LSCW) was formally founded in 2002 following a year of research and analysis on particular conditions afflicting children and women in Cambodian society. LSCW promotes gender equality, protects children and women from all forms of exploitation, pushes for the respect of their rights and increases children’s and women’s awareness of those rights. LSCW is working to improve the situation of women and children in Cambodia by providing them with the necessary support to exercise their human rights, particularly by increasing legal literacy within small communities and in the wider Cambodian society.
