Focus on predicament of children in prison


THE Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation has vowed to raise the living standards of children who live with their imprisoned mothers in the Kingdom’s prison system, after observing some shortcomings in a recent visit.

The ministry announced on May 14 that their senior officials, in collaboration with the General Department of Prisons (GDP), the Cambodian Children’s Fund (CCF) and the Department of Child Protection, visited women and children at Correctional Centre II (M2) of the capital’s Prey Sar Prison. The visit was timed to coincide with International Mothers Day, and CCF food packages were distributed to the inmates and their children.
