    Summary of country programme

    UN Women’s work with government and civil society delivers interlinked programmes focusing on transformative structural and institutional change to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment.  The programmes aim to:

    • Support the implementation of international commitments to gender equality and women’s empowerment by the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), in consultation with rights holders including young women and LGBTIQ persons.
    • Eliminate violence against women, girls, and LGBTIQ persons to ensure that survivors are empowered to use available, accessible, and quality essential services and recover from violence and Cambodia has an enabling environment to better prevent, respond and prosecute all forms of gender-based violence.
    • Build movements and campaigns to address negative social and gender norms that are barriers for women and other genders to participate in the public sphere and access resources.
    • Support national and sub-national responses to climate change and Disaster Risk Reduction that incorporate and address the priorities and needs of all women in Cambodia.

    Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements

    Through the partnership with UN Women, the Ministry of Women's Affairs (MoWA) and Child Helpline Cambodia (CHC) actively and effectively identify and respond to cases of women subjected to violence including women migrant workers. A returning woman migrant worker reported during the focus group discussion for the endline survey on quality service provision �My mother reached out to the Child Helpline to seek assistance for my return to Cambodia from China. Thanks to the SAF programme, I also received vital support services such as food, legal aid, and counselling. I have now secured employment, which gives me the confidence to support myself and take care of my mother. I am determined to avoid returning to the circumstances where I endured violence.�. The assistance included counselling, information and referral, and psycho-social support. As a result, a total of 130 cases received support through Helpline of MoWA (093 777 900 & 085 777 900) and the Helpline (1280) of CHC. Out of 130 cases, 17 were women migrant workers who received support. It was observed that the cases of domestic violence were the majority with a total number of 50 cases receiving support through the helpline of MoWA. This resulted from the improved capacity of MoWA and CHC front-line staff as well as service providers on case management and quality essential services response. During a focus group discussion for the end-line survey on quality service provision, one of the CHC staff confirmed "Through the ongoing support of the Safe and Fair (SAF) programme, we were able to identify and address cases of violence against women migrant workers effectively." Front-line service providers have strengthened capacity to provide services based on the Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs). A total of 47 helpline operators (31 women and 16 men) have familiarized themselves with SOPs and its key guiding principles including a human rights approach, ensuring safety, empowerment, privacy, and confidentiality, provide guidance and procedures for the helpline operators for responding to calls from survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) at a workshop on the SOPs for Helpline Operators that MoWA conducted in May 2023. This reflected on a follow up call with selected participants to understand their capacity improvement. A participant in Siem Reap Province reported "After receiving the training on the SOP, I shared my knowledge with 28 staff during staff meetings on communication skills when responding to GBV survivors who report violence and seek support. I observed that after the sharing session my staff could write a better report to me with detailed information on each case�. Following the SOPs training, MoWA compiled all the feedback, finalized, and endorsed the SOPs in late 2023 and plans its nation-wide rollout in 2024. This result contributed to the Sustainable Development Goal 5.2 and United Nations Development Assistance Framework (2019-2023) Outcome 1.
