Learning Self-Defense, Building Confidence Our girls participated in a self-defense training session to build confidence, courage, and essential personal safety skills. #AFESIP #Survivor #Trafficking #Raped #Abused

Sometimes, returning to the center after visiting home leaves our girls feeling deeply sad and longing for their families. Of course, every child longs for the love and warmth of a family. But every child also deserves safety, protection, happiness, and the future opportunity.

2 sisters, aged just 10 and 17, have endured pain that no child should ever have to experience… Our team accompanied the girls to Ratanakiri Provincial Court to provide statements in a sexual abuse case by their cousin. It is heartbreaking #AFESIP #Survivor #Trafficking #Raped

Over the past few days, our girls have been falling ill one after another, affecting nearly half of the girls at our center. Wishing them all a speedy recovery. #AFESIP #Survivor #Trafficking #Raped #Abused

Our girls come from different backgrounds and have different life stories, but here they have become one family, sharing love, warmth, and hope. We cannot change their painful past, but together, we can surround them with love, create opportunities, and help them build futures.

The scars on her body remain, and the emotional wounds still follow her like a shadow… but she has not given up on her future. She was raped and attempting murder, yet today she continues to study with determination. She will begin high school this new academic year. #AFESIP

Happiness… all girls are together during the school holiday, especially as we celebrate the Pchum Ben season. Thank you everyone for your love and continued support. #AFESIP #Survivor #Trafficking #Raped #Abused

From survivor to law graduate—and now AFESIP Cambodia staff. After 7 years of perseverance, Leakena returns not as a beneficiary, but to help educate and empower the next generation. Once supported, now supporting others. #AFESIP #Survivor #Trafficking #Raped #Abused

The Education and Training Team conducted follow-up visits with 6 girls in Phnom Penh to check on their education, living conditions, and safety, while providing school supplies and financial support for the 2026–2027 school year. #AFESIP #Survivor #Trafficking #Raped #Abused

Surrounded by their teachers and girls, Nav Nav and Win Win practice singing their favorite song. Singing, playing, and sharing happy moments together are part of creating beautiful childhood memories in our center. #AFESIP #Survivor #Trafficking #Raped #Abused

In addition to university tuition, we support other essential needs, including daily living expenses, transportation, learning materials, and other necessary costs... Beyond their university studies, they also need stronger English to improve their future opportunities. #AFESIP

Tomorrow, the team will travel to bring 3 newly victims to stay at our center—2 sisters, aged 10 and 16, who were raped by their cousin, and a 13-year-old girl who was raped by her biological father. My precious girls… what happened to you is far too painful… #AFESIP #Survivor

The team continued our post-reintegration follow-up visits with other 3 girls. Each facing different circumstances and challenges. 2 are adjusting well with their families while 1 girl is experiencing discrimination and safety concerns and she will be returned back to our center.

Only 11 years old… yet she has endured unimaginable pain, including a pregnancy, Her physical and emotional wounds have not yet fully healed, but today she must travel to provide her statement at Provincial Court of First Instance. #AFESIP #Survivor #Trafficking #Raped #Abused
