Mission

Arjuni creates jobs and promotes self-sustainability of women, who are in a weaker position in the Cambodian society. It actively employs women who were previously involved in human trafficking and prostitution, and helps them cultivate skills. 95% of its employees are women, many of them orphans or victims of human trafficking. By eliminating transactions by intermediary organizations such as religious groups, and purchasing hair directly from the women themselves, Arjuni helps promote the empowerment of Cambodian women.

Moreover, Arjuni pledges to donate 10% of their profit to organizations that endeavor to reduce human trafficking and prostitution. It vigorously pursues the activity to support the Cambodian women’s independence.
