AFESIP CAMBODIA is a non-governmental, non-partisan, and non- religious organisation established at the grass-root level in Cambodia in 1996. The dire situations of thousands of victims forced into sex slavery are the reason why AFESIP exists today. We are devoted to “humanly correct development” in order to fight against the trafficking of women and children for sex slavery.
AFESIP CAMBODIA cares for those victimized by trafficking and sex slavery. The primary objective of AFESIP's work is to secure victims' rights by providing holistic care through a victim-centred approach, with the long-term goals of successful and permanent rehabilitation and reintegration.
“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).
