Nieng has a small clothing production business in Poipet. When she started her business, she had 2 machines and she was very poor. Now she employs more than 20 sewers, 5 of whom are or were CWCC clients. They work hard, live and eat together, earning enough to send money to their families. Despite the proximity to the border, and to brothel work, these young women prefer to work hard making clothes for export to Thailand for about the same money they would earn from sex work.

"We can see from the lives of our clients that given a choice, women do not choose sex work," says Chantol, Executive Director of the CWCC.

The services offered by the CWCC are extensive, recognising that to adequately tackle the issues of violence, sexual abuse and exploitation, a multi-dimensional approach must be taken that addresses not only the needs of the victims but also encompasses the broader community.

The wide-ranging services provided by the CWCC fall under their two key programs Assisting Women in Crisis and Girls Access to Education
