Background
Open Development Cambodia (ODC) is implementing the Digi-Fem: Defending Women’s Rights to Safety in the Digital Space Project (hereafter refer to Digi-Fem Project) from 2025-2029, in collaboration with the Klahaan Organization who is the lead implementing partner. Funded by the UN Trust Fund, the Digi-Fem Project aims to address critical gaps in the understanding and response to technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), particularly the lack of data focused on the experiences and voices of women and girls in all their diversity.
By the end of this project, we expect that women and girls in Cambodia who are at heightened risk of TFGBV including young women, LGBTIQ+ individuals, women with disabilities, WHRDs and content creators—will feel heard, supported, and meaningfully engaged in CSO’s advocacy efforts to change policies, laws, and societal attitudes towards a safer and more inclusive digital space for all.
To achieve this goal, ODC and Klahaan Organization implement key several strategies as followings:
- Build and gather evidence on TFGBV through research initiatives and the establishment of a database to support advocacy and campaign effort as well as build the capacity of Cambodian people and women’s rights organization in research and advocacy using participatory and intersectional feminist principles and survivor-centered approaches.
- Offer a coordinated response mechanism to women and girls to respond to the need for more widely available information on TFGBV, public engagement, and technical support.

As part of these strategies, ODC seeks a local operator to provide support to carry out the activities of the project that falls under his/her responsibilities. These activities primarily involve the delivery of technical supports to survivors of TFGBV, including women, girls, and LGBTIQ+ community, and documentation of their experiences in this violence on the TFGBV database, created for this project.
