2023 End of Year Impact

SURVIVOR RESTORATION

Stories of impact

A survivor was abused by two perpetrators, a father and son, on several occasions. The survivor, and her family, reported this abuse and were given support to take action. The family were very nervous and afraid because they didn’t know about the court proceedings. The survivor moved to a shelter during this process as the perpetrators lived locally. The LSP walked alongside her through the trial. During the proceeding, the survivor gave her testimony to the court and, as a result, sentenced the perpetrators to jail terms of 8 and 10 years and ordered them to pay $ 5,000 compensation :

Stories of impact:

A community member shares her learning on safe migration with other community members.

During awareness raising activities, a target family leader at Ovloek village, Preah Vihear Province, had a chance to share with other participants her experiences of migration to Thailand. She went to work abroad because she had a positive experience the previous year but this year she didn’t choose an agency as previously but she migrated with brokers. She needed to walk across the PoiPet border at night time and found a job and worked with low wages. She was arrested by police because she was illegal there and she was forced to pay all money at the Thailand border checkpoint in order to cross the border home. In her experience she realised that legal Community Empowerment migration is much safer.

SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING

Stories of Impact

Government officials empowered to effectively support victims. Commissioner Deputy Director of Anti-human trafficking and Gender Office at Tboung Khmum applied the knowledge from her training to collect information and report writing of human trafficking and sexual abuse cases. “Before, I was not able to complete information with the victim. There were not clear forms available and the questions sometimes shamed the victim. The environment where the interviews were conducted were not suitable. I applied the methods from the training session which increased my capacity to build close contact with victims and I was able to record System Strengthening information from the victims of sexual abuse.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s

policy on reserves

The trustees had resolved that the target for reserves should be 3 months salary costs overall. Notably, 2023 was a year of transition with the UK employed Executive Director moving on, and a new Executive Director employed by Chab Dai International part way through the year. This reduced the salary cost burden on Chab Dai UK. Although there were sufficient funds available from the funds received as grants from Chab Dai International to pay what was required, there were not enough to build up reserves again. The overall activities of Chab Dai UK have since been reviewed as a result of the remaining UK employee resigning in 2023. It is therefore anticipated that for the present Chab Dai UK will continue in a much reduced capacity and not require significant reserves to cover salary costs.
