Activities

The Khmer Women's Voice Center (KWVC) emerged from the Cambodian Women's Committee for Non-violence and The Elections (CWCNVE) which promoted women's participation in the 1993 elections process. This committee evolved into the KWVC in early 1994. The KWVC supports women's issues, provides equipment and trains professionals in advocacy, research and media. While this organization seeks to remedy the gender gap in media participants, the KWVC has created a media project on combating trafficking against women.

KWVC aims to empower women and encourages them to participate and make decisions in the political, economic, social and cultural spheres, KWVC has also the mission to educate society to recognize the roles and contributions of women, and to influence legislation on women's behalf. One of its major projects is the Gender Democracy and Women's Access to mid and top-level positions in the government.
