Cambodia's Battambang province will be the first to implement the country's new deinstitutionalization policy.
The Cambodian Ministry of Social Affairs has announced that institutionalizing children under age 3 and the building of new orphanages in the country will be banned by the end of 2018.
Families of recently reintegrated children in Cambodia express mixed feelings upon their return, reporting concerns about children receiving adequate education and support services after leaving residential care facilities.
Disabled children in Cambodia are abandoned in hospitals and health centers throughout the country. The Angkor Hospital for Children, however, is dedicated to keeping abandoned children out of orphanages by convincing and assisting parents to take their infants back and care for them.
Claims of child sexual abuse and exploitation by foreign volunteers pressure Cambodia to crack down on orphanages.
This study explored the extent to which components of quality of care predicted psychosocial well-being of orphaned and separated children (OSC), as well as the extent to which these components of quality of care and demographic factors moderated the associations between care settings and psychosocial well-being of orphaned and separated children (OSC).
This study investigates the intergenerational impact of conflict on the educational and health outcomes of children born years after the conflict in Cambodia ended by exploiting geographical variation in the intensity of the genocide that occurred during the Khmer Rouge (KR) regime in Cambodia.
This mapping significantly advances the current knowledge of the state of institutionalization of Cambodian children.
