We believe women are the future, and by building each woman’s strength and ability, WRC lends a hand in creating a better country for our women and children to live, in turn impacting the way women address every, and any, situation in the future.

Located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, WRC is first and foremost a drop-in center welcoming women to ask questions regarding all aspects of life. We assist all women by providing information, direct service and by a well developed and researched referral system that helps them get the support and care they need at other partner agencies. The network professionals and organizations that WRC has formed provides a solid foundation of referrals for us to confidently provide women, ensuring the right help and support they need is specific to their situation.

In addition we have established a secondary program of educational workshops that are not readily available in Siem Reap, but are assessed as a vital need within the community, such as Legal Aid, Women’s Health, and Parents Talk workshops. We only create programs that we feel are not widely available or have not been introduced as yet. In this way, we are not repeating the great work done by others and are focusing on filling the gap of services and information. We are also working on establishing two additional workshops; Khmer Literacy and Work Skills Training.

WRC is also a place where women can come and discuss their issues and feelings in groups or individually with peer counselors. Our staff are trained on support services techniques and counseling skills to be able to approach the different and difficult situations presented by our clients. 

The Women’s Resource Center enables more women to seek help and advice. The WRC is changing the climate of silence and inaction in Siem Reap and the surrounding communities. We represent the voice and needs of women in Cambodia. Without this representation, the social and economic situation of women’s rights and status will never progress, as it should.

WRC shows women that it is acceptable, and that they have the right to, look for advice, support and information for any problem that they have.

Cambodia and Siem Reap are ready for the social services, and social change, that WRC offer.

We will lead Cambodia to change the way resources and services are offered and networked for women.
