We would like to thank the British Ambassador to Cambodia, Dominic Williams, for supporting the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign under the theme “We Are Walking with You.” Domestic violence is a serious issue both in Cambodia and around the world, which is why This Life is so passionate about the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence each year. A heartfelt thank you once again to Ambassador Dominic and everyone at the British Embassy in Cambodia. We are deeply grateful for your support, which will help raise awareness of the urgent need to end gender-based violence. We hope that your message will inspire greater participation in the campaign and, in particular, help make women safer and more protected. Together, we can make a difference and create a society free from gender-based violence. We Are Walking with You. #WeAreWalkingWithYou #យើងដើរជាមួយអ្នក #GenderEqualityNow #EmpowerHer #SheLeads

We're proud to amplify the insights shared by our director, Billy Gorter, at the United Nations People-Centered Justice Regional Conference. The discussions on justice reform highlighted our significant achievements in Cambodia while emphasizing the broader context of challenges faced across the Asia-Pacific region. As we advocate for proven solutions, we call on philanthropists and funders to prioritize scaling impactful initiatives over new pilots.

🌏 Honored to be contributing in two key sessions at the "Achieving Just Societies" conference at the United Nations Convention Centre in Bangkok this week (Nov 11-13), hosted by UNDP, Thailand Institute of Justice, UNEP, and UN Women Asia and the Pacific. On Nov 12th, I'll be joining the panel "Justice Reimagined: Fostering an Ecosystem for People-Centered Innovation" where we'll explore how to strengthen justice innovation ecosystems across Southeast Asia and discuss ways to make people-centered solutions more sustainable and scalable. I'm also facilitating a world cafe session sharing This Life's groundbreaking work on Child-Friendly Spaces in Cambodia's prisons. Our program has supported 64 mothers, 73 children within prison, and 119 children outside prison - demonstrating how institutional environments can be transformed to prioritise child wellbeing while supporting maternal rehabilitation. Looking forward to engaging with fellow justice advocates and exploring innovative approaches to making justice systems more inclusive and human-centered across Asia and the Pacific!

🌟 On Friday last week, our senior management team at This Life dove deep into our Program Management Manual (PMM) during an invigorating orientation session led by our Deputy Director, Se Chhin. We explored powerful tools like Community-Driven Dialogue, reinforcing our commitment to amplifying local voices and implementing evidence-based practices. This session wasn't just about learning—it was about transforming how we empower communities. By sharpening our skills in areas like contextual analysis and project cycle management, we're setting the stage for more impactful, sustainable programs. Immensely proud of our team's hunger for growth and their passion for creating lasting change! 💪🌱 Curious about our approach?
