The European Union announced that it will provide 1.2 million euros in aid to human rights and democracy works in Cambodia.

The announcement was made by the EU representative in Cambodia on 19 April. It indicated that the amount of aid is equivalent to about $1.6 million, and it was provided as part of the EU funding for democracy and human rights. This funding will be handed out to NGOs in order to raise and strengthen the rights of indigenous people in Cambodia and their communities, strengthen women’s role in society and on the political scene, etc…

This aid will also be distributed to civil society involved in the fight against human trafficking; in the prevention of torture and improving jail rules to guarantee the rights of the prisoners; in the raising of the security and land rights for groups of weak and vulnerable people. Request for funding from this human rights program should be made between 19 April and 12 July 2010.

The EU is accepting such funding request since 2004. Currently, it is dispensing funds to support 33 human rights programs led by 26 national and international NGOs.
