Eradicating Slavery: Achieving Justice One Conviction at a Time
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
Proverbs 31:8
The Project
In Cambodia, survivors of human trafficking, modern slavery, and sexual abuse are rebuilding their lives through the Chab Dai Protection Project.
What began as a Legal Support Project has grown into a fully integrated Protection Project — bringing together legal aid, case management, trauma-informed care, and reintegration support.
This holistic approach recognises that while justice is vital, survivors also need safety, practical support, and long-term opportunities to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
Objectives
- Providing legal aid and courtroom support so survivors can pursue justice safely
- Delivering trauma-informed counselling and psychosocial care
- Offering emergency assistance including safe shelter, food, and medical care
- Supporting family reintegration and long-term recovery
- Providing vocational training and livelihood opportunities
Impact
Between 2023 and 2025, 95 survivors accessed the court system, with 81 cases resulting in convictions and compensation awarded in every case. In 2025 alone, 44 survivors received case management and emergency support, while 20 child survivors accessed trauma-informed counselling. This work is helping survivors find justice, restore dignity, and rebuild their lives.
Annually we need to raise $60,000 to help and equip the work of Chab Dai. With your generous support, more survivors can receive legal and restoration aid.
