Announcement Description

Hagar International Foundation is a Swiss-registered international NGO, established in Cambodia since 1994. We are an organization primarily focused on specialist services for individuals who have survived extreme abuse. We work with individuals who have endured severe mental and/or physical trauma as a result of to human trafficking, domestic violence or sexual assault. Over the past two decades, Hagar has earned a reputation for working with the “toughest cases” such as the young children, adolescents, and those repeatedly abused. Increasingly Hagar is also developing research, leading advocacy and building the capacity of other organizations, to improve prevention and strengthen after-care services. With over 28 years of experience, HAGAR Cambodia has transformed into an internationally renowned leader in recovery services for survivors of human trafficking, slavery, gender-based violence (GBV), and abuse.

Our Mission: HAGAR EXISTS TO END TRAFFICKING, SLAVERY AND ABUSE BY SUPPORTING SURVIVORS, PREVENTING EXPLOITATION, AND PURSUING JUSTICE

Hagar's unique approach is The Whole Journey. The Whole Journey approach starts with a survivor, an individual who has experienced severe trauma because of human trafficking, slavery, and abuse. From the moment a survivor enters our care, we employ Trauma-Informed Care principles to respond with care and compassion, assess their needs, and provide individualized services to help them heal. Services include providing a safe place to live, counselling, family support, legal support, education, and economic empowerment support. We don’t have a set timeframe for how long we work with a survivor. We do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to make sure they will not be re-traumatized or re-victimized again. All Hagar projects applied the Whole Journey approach. Since this approach has been implemented for many years in Cambodia, we have seen many transformations in the lives of the survivors we supported.
