AFESIP CAMBODIA is a non-governmental, non-partisan, and non-religious organization established at the grass-root level in Cambodia in 1996. The dire situations of thousands of victims forced into sex slavery are the reasons why AFESIP exists today. AFESIP CAMBODIA cares for those victimized of trafficking and sex slavery. The success criteria have been, first and foremost, securing victim’s rights by providing holistic care through a victim centered approach with long term goals of successful and permanent rehabilitation and reintegration.
The “humanly correct development” is defined as “conforming to the most fundamental rights; those applicable anytime, anywhere, and to any persons in peace as in war time, freely contracted by any country of the world” (UN civil and political rights pact, article 6; right to live, article 7; forbidding of torture, article 8; forbidding of slavery, article 11; forbidding of unfair detention).
Our aims and objectives are:
* To combat trafficking in women and girls for sex slavery
* To provide holistic care and recovery for those rescued from sex slavery
* To provide occupational skills
* To reintegrate those rescued into the community through financial independence in a sustainable and innovative manner.
AFESIP CAMBODIA also seeks to combat the causes and consequences of trafficking in persons for sexual exploitation through:
* Outreach work in HIV/AIDS prevention
* Advocacy and campaigning
* Representation and participation in women's issues at national, regional and international forums.
