Phnom Penh, Cambodia — On International Human Rights Day 2025, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs of Cambodia and the United Nations, with support from Australia and the Cambodia Cooperation for Equitable Sustainable Services Phase 2 programme (ACCESS 2), convened Our Safety, a landmark national dialogue focused on ending Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV).
Held as the culminating event of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, the dialogue marked a turning point in Cambodia’s digital evolution. It brought together government representatives, technology companies, civil society, and young people to confront a growing challenge: while digital technologies create new opportunities, they are also increasingly being used to harm women and girls.
