This essential Law and Human Rights Program puts international volunteers right in the heart of the fight for social justice for the people of Cambodia. 

Love Volunteers work with a Cambodian Human Rights non-governmental organization that dedicates itself to the task of helping those in need. Volunteers on this fantastic program will be supporting people who face discrimination and human rights violations, including families forcefully evicted from their homes, and women and children who have suffered domestic violence.

From working with individuals who face unfair charges or have had their basic human rights violated, to working with abused groups of women and children, this program is at the coalface assisting those at their most vulnerable. The work this program does can truly change lives and international volunteers are essential to its success. Experienced volunteer law and human rights practitioners are greatly needed to assist with the fight for justice in this beautiful, yet poverty stricken and corrupt nation.

Goals of this Project:

• Fight for the human rights of the people of Cambodia
• Build a fairer, more just society for the impoverished people of Cambodia
• Improve the future prospects of Cambodia’s most marginalized citizens
• Increase gender equality and the understanding of human rights

Start Dates

This project is available year-round and programs start the 1st and 3rd week of every month with volunteers arriving on SUNDAY. Volunteers can choose to participate for periods ranging from 5 weeks to 12 weeks. Longer stays can be arranged directly with the local team, but will be subject to availability and individual visa conditions. Spaces on this project are limited and therefore subject to availability. Early booking is recommended.
