About Caritas Switzerland
Caritas Switzerland (CaCH) has been engaged in Cambodia for 20 years with its own presence and registration since 2014. Caritas Switzerland works towards a Cambodia in which human development is for everyone. Our core themes are safe migration, increasing the income of vulnerable people, and building the resilience of communities to climate variability and change. Caritas Switzerland perceives quality education as a powerful tool for combating poverty, social exclusion and inequalities.
The Safe Migration Cambodia (SaMiCa) Project
Trafficked and vulnerable children and women are supported through prevention, protection, and reintegration services provided by the local NGO Damnok Toek and the National Committee for Counter Trafficking (NCCT). This project takes a holistic approach by investing in preventing human trafficking, assisting victims, and ensuring their reintegration. To promote the sustainability and high quality of the project implementation, Caritas Switzerland supports the two local implementing partners through capacity building, technical backstopping, and monitoring as well as policy dialogue and capitalization of best practices.
Awareness-raising activities sensitize migrants and communities on the risks of unsafe migration. Capacity building of authorities and legal document support for potential migrants further promote the prevention of human trafficking. For victims of human trafficking, emergency care is provided. To improve these services, actors working in victim identification and protection are trained and referral systems strengthened. The reintegration of children into safe family structures and female migrants into their communities is ensured. This increases migrants’ resilience and aims at their long-term wellbeing.
Lastly, the institutional weaknesses and poor collaboration between migration actors in the country are addressed with capacity building and coordination of NGO networks and other stakeholders working in safe migration
