Background

Coordination of Action Research on AIDS and Mobility (CARAM Cambodia) was established in

2000, and primarily works with Cambodian and Vietnamese migrant sex workers in Cambodia as

Cambodia’s main work includes: safe repatriation and reintegration assistance for victims of

trafficking and labor exploitation; outreach education to both Cambodian and Vietnamese migrant

sex workers on reproductive health and human rights; pre-departure training to Cambodian migrant

workers; and advocacy. KHANA-supported integrated support and prevention covers 4 Operational

Districts (Tbong, Cheung, Lech and Kandal) in Phnom Penh.

Vision

dignity with equal rights in society where their quality of life is ensured.
