Activities

The Protection of Juvenile Justice (PJJ) was established and officially recognized on 5 May 2001 by the Council of Ministers and Ministry of Interior of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The Protection of Juvenile Justice (PJJ) provides legal assistance, legal training, research and child rehabilitation for children and their families who have suffered from exploitation.

PJJ also participates in Cross-Border Rescue Operations and refers trafficking victims to NGOs for rehabilitation.

PJJ has three main objectives that will serve to help build the protection and promotion of juvenile justice and respect for the rule of law in Cambodia . The three objectives are:

To ensure that child victims and children in trouble with the law have access to pro bono legal assistance at all stages of legal process in Cambodian justice system
To improve law enforcement officials' understanding relevant to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Cambodian existing legislations and procedures
To ensure that sexually abused child victims and child offenders who have served their sentence are provided with appropriate services such as education and vocational training.
