CWCC
The Cambodian Women's Crisis Center (CWCC) is a local non-governmental organization founded in early 1997. It was created by a group of women who recognized the severe levels of violence being perpetrated against women and children in Cambodia and the lack of services to assist them. CWCC’s mission is to eliminate all forms of violence against women (VAW) while providing services to victims of gender-based abuse and their children. CWCC encourages women to help themselves through providing crisis intervention services. CWCC also aims to reduce violence against women through training, media campaigns, community organization and legal advocacy. With a central office in Phnom Penh, CWCC runs shelters for women in need in three provinces. CWCC has been a DanChurchAid partner since 1997.
