STRENGTHENING VOICES & MOBILZING SUPPORT
Kdei Karuna actively contributes to national and international networks in the fields of transitional justice, peacebuilding, gender justice, and Women, Peace and Security. Through these platforms, we share expertise, exchange good practices, and contribute to broader efforts for recognition, justice, and healing.
Beyond our network engagement, we work closely with line ministries, local authorities, and community leaders to ensure that survivors' needs remain visible and are reflected in the support available to them. At the same time, we strengthen the capacity of survivors themselves - building their confidence and skills to speak for their own needs, engage with decision-makers, and play an active role in shaping the processes that affect their lives.
ECCC Victim-Survivors Residual Function Working Group
Following the closure of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, Kdei Karuna is an active member of this working group, which brings together civil society organizations, Civil Party lawyers, and the ECCC to ensure that the needs of survivors remain central during the tribunal's residual phase. The group's mandate covers intergenerational dialogue, history education, memorialization, trauma healing, and the recognition of survivors' experiences. Kdei Karuna has served as a member of the Secretariat, facilitating bi-monthly coordination meetings and contributing to the group's shared initiatives.
