Together with Hagar International, WHI is training government social workers from Cambodia’s Ministry of Women’s Affairs and Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans, and Youth Rehabilitation to provide trauma-informed, victim centered counseling and case management services for victims of gender-based violence (GBV). Likewise, together with Social Services Cambodia WHI is training and coaching commune representatives from Ministry of Interior to perform conflict mitigation and refer GBV victims to appropriate legal and support services. Alongside this capacity building, WHI is also working with community leaders and stakeholders to engage men, women, boys, and girls in discussions on the effects of GBV and to raise awareness on the pathways for victims to access GBV recovery and support services.
