Cambodia’s internet hotline
Every child deserves to be safe, online and off.
APLE runs Cambodia’s internet hotline for reporting child sexual abuse material, supports survivors, and works with police, platforms and partners so that children are found, protected and heard.
Safe, anonymous reporting
Report child sexual abuse and exploitation
Online or in person, your report goes to APLE’s trained hotline analysts, who work with police and online platforms to protect the child.
Partnerships and membership
Stronger together for children
We value national and global partnerships and see them as critical to ending child sexual abuse and exploitation, especially in transnational forms.
What we do
Our child protection approach
APLE protects children through five connected pillars — Before Harm Begins, Bringing Harm to Light, Justice for Every Child, Evidence with a Voice, and Closing the Legal Gap. Together, they prevent abuse, respond when it occurs, and build systems that keep children safe.
Before Harm Begins
01 · Prevent
The best protection is prevention. APLE equips families, schools, and communities to recognise the warning signs of child sexual exploitation and act before abuse happens.
Bring Harm to Light
02 · Detect
Hidden abuse cannot be stopped until it is seen. APLE operates Cambodia's internationally accredited hotline for reporting child sexual abuse, detecting harmful content, identifying children at risk, and getting abusive material removed.
Justice for Every Child
03 · Respond
Every child deserves protection, and every offender must answer. APLE works with police, prosecutors, and courts to investigate abuse and deliver justice, while providing survivors with crisis care, legal representation, and coordinated support.
Evidence with a Voice
04 · Evidence
Real change begins with listening. APLE turns frontline experience into evidence, researching how abuse happens and what works to stop it, while ensuring survivors help shape the services and policies that affect them.
Close the Legal Gap
05 · Reform
Laws must keep pace with those who harm children. APLE advocates for stronger legislation and policy on child sexual exploitation, including new threats like AI-generated abuse material and online sextortion.

Technology and innovation
Working with the tech industry to design out harm
Children live online, so protection has to be built into the technology they use. APLE works with technology companies, platforms and government to make that happen.
