WMC’s TV unit cooperates with local and international NGOs to produce television and radio campaigns on social issues in Cambodia. The department also produces weekly TV dramas, comedies and documentaries, which explore pressing social issues in the country. Broadcast on TV3, TVK and CTN and through seven contact provinces, the programs are available to the general public.

• Violence against women and children: anti-domestic violence, anti-sexual trafficking, prevention of rape, drug and child labor;
• Human rights issues, including women’s rights, gender and the law relating to women and children;
