CCHR | Cambodian Center for Human Rights

Hello and welcome,   

Thank you for visiting the website of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR). Your interest in, and support of, CCHR is greatly appreciated and essential to our ongoing efforts to promote and protect human rights in the Kingdom of Cambodia.

We have been working hard to develop and maintain our website as a user-friendly and informative resource for CCHR supporters, partners and all individuals and organizations interested in the situation of human rights in Cambodia. CCHR believes that the internet is an invaluable tool for linking individuals and organizations, and for sharing information in the promotion of a better society that values the dignity and cherishes the diversity of all the members of the human family.

CCHR has embraced new media and is using Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube together with other social media to promote our activities and to draw attention to local, and global, human rights issues. You can view our Facebook and Twitter pages as they are updated live from this website.

I encourage you to use this website to find out more about the situation of human rights in Cambodia, and about CCHR, our history, staff, and activities in the furtherance of human rights and democracy. This site provides links to all CCHR resources – press releases and reports – and news stories about our work as well as links to the tools that you can use to support CCHR and stay up to date with our activities.

CCHR promotes a collaborative approach to human rights. This site contains information about our various projects that seek to empower different actors – ordinary people, grassroots activists, community based organizations, and so on – to promote human rights from the ground up. Information is also provided on the networks that CCHR is a member of, and provides links to our partners, Cambodian and international, and our donors, in addition to other organizations working to promote human rights in Cambodia.   

We look forward to continuing to work with Cambodian communities, groups and individuals as well as the Cambodian government to improve respect for human rights and strengthen democracy in the coming years.   If you have any questions about CCHR please do not hesitate to contact us. Please register to receive an update when new reports, press release and project information is posted in order to stay up to date with CCHR. You can also follow CCHR activities on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube.   We hope you will find the CCHR website a useful resource and continue to visit us in the future.   

Welcome and thank you for visiting the website,
