Paper Doll Fashion Art Program for Young Women at Risk
Cambodian Women’s Crisis Center
Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, Cambodia
Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, Cambodia
The Paper Doll Fashion Art Program is the first of its kind -- an art and design
training program for trafficked girls and young women at risk. The program, was first produced by Art in a Box in partnership with the
Cambodian Women’s Crisis Center (CWCC) in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, Cambodia between 2006 and
2010. Inspired by Cambodia’s renowned textile traditions and the universal appeal of dolls, the program
promotes creative and educational opportunities for young women, who live at
safe houses where the traffickers cannot find them. The young women regained
their self-esteem, developed their talents and learned art and design skills.
Additional education opportunities included
Peer-to-Peer Mentoring and professional development training. The young women exhibited and sold their
original artwork at the New Gallery, a Cambodian owned gallery in Phnom Penh,
Cambodia.
