Consultant for Rapid Digital Safety Diagnosis and Package Development

Announcement Description

Banteay Srei (Citadel of Women) is a registered Cambodian NGO with over twenty years of experience working with poor and poorest vulnerable Cambodian women and communities in rural areas to promote women in political, economic, and social development. Banteay Srei organization evolved from the International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA), an Australian NGO, and has become a leading Cambodian NGO in the areas of building women’s leadership in rural areas, strengthening women’s participation in local community development processes, promoting gender equality and women’s rights, and increasing community action on positive gender relations and against gender-based violence in Siem Reap and Battambang.

Cambodia’s rapid expansion of internet and smartphone access has outpaced the country’s capacity to protect children from emerging forms of online harm, with affordable high-speed internet widely linked to a rise in tech-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). This trend accelerated during pandemic school closures. NGO monitoring found 15% of surveyed children had been contacted by strangers on social media, and 2% were asked to share intimate images or videos or perform inappropriate acts on webcam. These patterns persist, compounded by rising reports of livestreamed abuse, sextortion, image-based abuse, and the circulation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). UNICEF’s Disrupting Harm in Cambodia discovered that 11% of internet using children aged 12-17 in Cambodia had been subjected to online sexual exploitation and abuse within a single year.

A particularly troubling pattern involves offenders based outside Cambodia, including UK-linked individuals, who exploit weak cross-border reporting and investigative pathways to target Cambodian children with relative impunity.
