Cambodia’s Ministry of Women’s Affairs, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), on Monday launched the “GBV Safe App” to combat violence against women and girls in the Southeast Asian country.

A joint press release said the mobile app is an important advancement in Cambodia’s efforts to provide easy access to information, support, and care for those who experience violence.

The press release said it provides easy access to essential information, such as awareness about gender-based violence and sexual harassment, and links users to a network of essential services, including hotlines, legal aid, and psychosocial counselling.

“The GBV Safe App is a testament to our commitment to leverage technology to combat gender-based violence,” said Cambodian Minister of Women’s Affairs Ing Kantha Phavi.

“This app provides women and girls with information and resources to seek help when they need it most. It is a crucial step towards creating a safer and more equitable society for all,” she added.

Sandra Bernklau, UNFPA representative to Cambodia, stressed the app’s importance, saying that it has created a tool that can make a real difference in the lives of women and girls in Cambodia.

The press release said the app is free to download on Android devices via the Google Play Store and will soon be available on the Apple App Store for iOS devices. Xinhua
