Cambodia's child protection programme bears fruit as violence against kids in the country on the decline

PHNOM PENH, July 19 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): World Vision's Child Protection Project estimates that it has benefited 355,000 people and stakeholders in Cambodia over the course of one year. A World Vision official said that violence against children (VAC) in Cambodia appeared to be declining, but remained a concern.

Several years ago, World Vision Cambodia began implementing projects related to the protection of children, especially to end all forms of VAC, after studies of the problem determined that figures for the Kingdom were relatively high.
