Introduction

CARE is an international development organization fighting global poverty with a special focus on working with women and girls to bring sustainable changes their communities. CARE aims to tackle the underlying causes of poverty and social injustice and to bring lasting changes to the lives of poor and vulnerable people. Founded in 1945, today CARE works in over 100 countries around the globe and supports approximately 1,500 poverty-fighting development and humanitarian aid projects to reach more than 92 million people directly and 433 million people indirectly. CARE works with partners to achieve lasting results for marginalized communities.

CARE has been working with Cambodians since 1973, with an office in Phnom Penh since 1991. Today, CARE focuses on empowering particularly marginalized and vulnerable women in Cambodia, including urban women who are marginalized by occupation, rural women who are denied multiple rights, and women and girls form ethnic minorities. Each year CARE Cambodia implements around 10 projects, reaching approximately 250,000 direct participants and about 500,000 people are reached indirectly.

Background:

CARE Cambodia is implementing a project that aims to strengthen the knowledge and capacity of workers—particularly women workers, union leaders, and focal points—to apply Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (HREDD) as a practical tool for advocacy to promote dignity at work and improved working conditions.

The project engages trade unions, workers, and factory‑related stakeholders across selected locations in Cambodia and integrates gender‑just reflection and gender‑based violence and harassment (GBVH) perspectives into HREDD concepts, principles, and mechanisms. To support the implementation of the project activities, CARE Cambodia invites qualified consultants to submit proposals to provide technical services under this consultancy.
