Collaboration is at the heart of APLE’s approach. APLE actively engages with local communities, non-governmental organizations, and international partners to strengthen the fight against child sexual exploitation. By fostering cooperation and sharing best practices, APLE aims to create a global network of stakeholders dedicated to eradicating this crime.

APLE stepped up its interventions, recognizing that survivors and at-risk individuals needed social support to help them get back on their healthy lives, and in 2005, APLE launched the crisis and social support program, partnering with other NGOs to ensure that rescued children and families received specialized support that’s tailored to their specific needs.

Incredible progress has been made since 2014, when APLE became localized and registered with the Ministry of Interior. This milestone has empowered us to develop powerful partnerships to combat the sexual exploitation and abuse of children both nationally and globally. We’re thrilled to share that APLE now operates under formal MoUs with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation, as well as with the Cambodian Red Cross Phnom Penh Branch, other NGO service providers, and private companies including schools and hotels.

We’re committed to continuing to evolve our strategies to keep up with these shifting trends and protect children from harm.
