We work alongside others to amplify our impact and make a real difference in the lives of those affected.

Who We Are
We are dedicated to protecting children!
APLE is the leading child protection NGO in Cambodia that aims to eradicate the scourge of sexual exploitation and abuse of innocent children while championing their rights.
Our Response to online threats
Children are increasingly vulnerable to online sexual exploitation and abuse.
With the growth of modern digital technologies, the vulnerability of children is sadly increasing globally and in Cambodia. We’ve partnered with INHOPE, Canadian Center for Child Protection, and global tech industries to disrupt the harm to children and eradicate the distribution and propagation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) on the internet.
Internet using children aged 12-17 years had been subjected to some clear instances of online child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Children did not tell anyone about the sexual exploitation online they had experienced.

Our achievements in numbers
Impact of Our Work
We aim to build the capacity and resilience of at risk communities to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation, sustain their social protection mechanisms, and increase private sector regulations and engagements.
Knowledge and skills empower children, young people, parents, caregivers and community members to prevent and respond to child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Children who are victims of sexual abuse or exploitation require a wide range of support and services to support their recovery and to ensure they receive justice through the legal process.
