never can we admit the possible that the sacred female may also be equal to a man in her capacity for sin.

Nicholas Kristof HAD SOME FUN THERE I BET YAAAAAA

[GFMarshallx1]

Prostitution in and of itself is NOT immoral or degrading in any way, despite what the Bible Thumpers and Gynofacists try to bamboozle you with hyperbolic words and emotional pleas. This is because FORCED sex trafficking and the prostitution of MINORS ISN'T prostitution, its forced exploitation and abuse. But to consider EVERY instance, consensual or not, is exploitation is ABSOLUTE LUDICROUS. It DOESN'T MATTER what reason or state of mind the provider has, as long as CONSENT was FREELY given.

[greycloud24]

@GFMarshallx1 i disagree. i think that some people are pushed into drugs and than into prostitution. they may consent, but they are doing it to serve an addiction, and the addiction forces them to consent. they are slaves to the drugs. these people are victims within their own circumstance. it is important to keep in mind the position the sex worker is in. if it is truly voluntary than i agree that there is nothing wrong with it.

[GFMarshallx1]

@greycloud24 I respectfully understand your position, but I hope you still agree that prostitution should be fully legal, yet it is the public sector's duty to provide ways out for those who fall into the addiction trap, so those who are suffering and who wish to get out can do so. Furthermore prostitution should be LEGITIMIZED as a valid vocation as any intimate service industry profession.

[greycloud24]

@GFMarshallx1 oh i definitely think prostitution should be legal. if we legalized prostitution than we would find less people in the profession who are trapped into it by trafficking, drugs, and pimps, and we find more people who volunteered freely because they chose the profession. furthermore, we could also enforce policies that required the use of condoms and reduced unwanted pregnancies and std's. the prostitutes could also seek refuge with the police from abusive clients.

[greycloud24]

prostitution is not a problem, it is a symptom of a problem or multiple problems. in itself prostitution is fine, it is not exploitation if all parties are volantary. it is when there is forced prostitution that i become concerned. many women seek out prostitution because they are drug addicts (a problem). other women may be kidnapped and forced into prostitution because of high unfilled demand (a problem) for payed sex. to fix the prostitution "problem" you must fix the underlying problems.

[jualkyn]

damn..he wasted money on trying to free them...see the thing is, freeing individual people are not going to do anything without education and proper protocol. They need to seriously take legal aggressive action to tear these places down...urgh from the inside out and EDUCATE their young females..

[ECPATUSA]

This video shows that buying girls out of slavery may offer them a temporary escape, but is not a solution to the modern day slave trade. The money he paid to buy those girls means 2 (or maybe 3 or 4) can be brought in. Its hard to say that we would not make the same choice if faced with it, but we should all be aware of the consequences. We need to eliminate the demand for commercial sexual exploitations of children, and in the meantime, shutting down brothels helps protect the world's kids.

[dancastromusic]

@ECPATUSA Good point, didn't think about that!... it's terrible what happens in there places and I hope the authorities stamp this out sooner rather than later...

[TheKopassusBullShit]

WHY SHULD CARE IT THEIR LAW. WHAT I NEED ENJOY.

[rs4runner]

Oh wow. I've been to Cambodia 4 times and have been "shielded" from this dark side of Cambodia. Sorry to see this is not adamantly prosecuted by law enforcement.

[peter17dude]

tis is pretty disturbing. i was going there but i might reconsider now.

[MultiHockey28]

does not matter when people from the other side of the world that comes and help you you never change the fucken government should intervene

[tomagatchi1]

cambodia is fucked up i blame the whole khmer rouge we we're going through a goldent age untill the fuckn rouge hit fuckn communist

[optimusADELS]

it's starts with the corruption of the mankind. leads to corruption of government. and it all trickles down from there. that is where we who can help also need to focus our resources; corruption in government that allows this kind of thing to happen. and it's not only in South East Asian, Asian or even African countries. Sex trafficking is massive in Europe too.

like he said, it is going to take a long time to change. but it can. and by God i believe it will. i devote my life to ensuring it!

[omid11]

That is it! I am moving to Cambodia!

[BrandonSkiev]

[BrandonSkiev]

@omid11  youre movign to cambodia because u want sex with young kids in cambodia? hmmm .. ok.. its up to you .. but watch out for Karma

[omid11]

[sovannop]

$350 that free the two girls is the best money that a person can spend.

[Maxwedge12000]

@sovannop Total waste of money for they ended up being prostitutes again.

[asas2jh]

Sad. Sounds like Africa

[URIZHEY]

Sex with virgins cure AIDS.... the most idiot thing I ever hear...

[Mr000Risk000]

why do southeast asian countries treat women like animals?

[boywunder343]

@Mr000Risk000 are you kidding me? who do you think the customers are? north american, europeaon, and australian men..dont point the finger...your countries are supporting this industry

[ewashington4178]

@Mr000Risk000 thats every country brother

[iluvrnb1]

only 2 solutions. the first, find the trafficers convict them then shoot them publicly, every single trafficer they find and convict. second is put pressure on the greedy government to do more and do imprison or shoot dead the corrupt police who take bribes to turn a blind eye. i feel sad for these poor girls.

[leiefilm]

isn't it kind of naive to just by her free and expect everythung will workout?

[endracismguy]

@thepsi75 you are a fucking dog shit hope you catch aids or get a cutthroat necktie you scumbucket

[robertplant634]

@endracismguy he's just kidding. sheesh! lighten up.

[ShufflePrideXD]

khmers are the besssst :)

[thepsi75]

Wow. there are some grade A girls there. Looks like I'll be visiting cambodia soon. Looks to be a cheap destination.

[brwneyez27]

@thepsi75 i hope you get aids :)

[thepixieful]

LL you missed my point. yes I learned they cannot go back home, but that was not my point. a skill set, job skills so they can live and make a living with skills. read it again.

[divinglamb]

This country is by no means a sad one. The people lack education and guidance and are regretfully in the majority living in poverty guided by the corrupt nouveaux rich. These special individuals won my heart for their ability to smile in the face of adversity, they have a resilience which is lacking in our pampered cultures.

[thepixieful]

but this is complicated, can she go back home, as honor killings sometimes happen. OR sometimes the family gets paid. AND where are the skills for after they are set free, sewing, whatever. office work?????waitress????? maybe if she could dance???I am serious here, we are looking at more than just not selling, these girls need skills to make a living, rather than tricks. Thanks for listening. also do these girls become addicted?????

[LLTech]

@thepixieful so its ok for the girls to be raped over and over again for money in someone else's pocket as long as we teach her to sew, umm yeah, good point!

[welcomegohome]

Child prostitution and Angkor Wat is probably what this sad country is best known for.

[nguyendiemphuong1986]

khmers are cheap as shit

[BrandonSkiev]

@nguyendiemphuong1986 n Nguyen... i ve seen your comments about Khmer videos all the times... what s up? what are you trying to get? what yorue trying to prove? what s your point? I dont hate viets or anybody... i go to vn every year. I know everythinbg about vn and lives in vn. but i dont hate viets. I dont hate viets like the other khmers do. ( im mixed khmer, thai, flipino) But it s true that

Thais , viets, others stole or took Khmerland period.. No doubt. But this is new age now

[poopoo563]

@nguyendiemphuong1986 vietnamese fucker...

[Kinghercules]

Shit, she looked like she fucked him. The way she holdin all on him like that.

I use to live in Cambodia and them some sex ass women and i cant wait to go back.

[endracismguy]

@Kinghercules dont you mean you go for the boys loser

[Muy1n]

this is a old video .....?

[happykatkat]

@Muy1n It says 2007.

[khmerpac]

Welcome to Cambodia! Where corruption is legal and the poor are treated like dirt. I wonder how they would feel if their own daughters were sold as sex slaves. Cambodia and other poor asian countries are like Disneyland for the pediphiles and sick *&%$! Unfortunately, there is no saving Cambodia.

[nguyendiemphuong1986]

@khmerpac f@uck khmer rats

[MikroBadass]

@nguyendiemphuong1986 hey the same story goes for vietnam just so you know...actually the story goes that some cambodians kidnap vietnamese girls to sell to brothels..just stating the facts

[nguyendiemphuong1986]

@MikroBadass

khmers ===== worthless shit

[tomagatchi1]

@nguyendiemphuong1986 go eat a dick fucken fake ass chinese why wont u guys get your own fucken literature all i see is english letter in ur fucken CUNTry bunch of traders who ran away from china

[Pure777Ownage]

Another thing...How can you possibly know who's a virgin or not these days? There is a procedure where the docter could stitch up the Vagina in order to make the girl seem like she's a virgin again......kinda scary.

[jamespatrick15]

i heard some state in america still has these things on but they dont kindap them or force women to do anything so at least that better than this

[dirtyhyde8]

Its legal in Nevada (the only state that allows legalized prostitution), but women work there with their own choice.

[EminaB1000]

I am reading a book written by Mr. Kristof and his wife called "Half the Sky" and I want to thank them both for doing this project in the first place. It is amazing how little do people know about sex trafficking, human trafficking in general. Thank  you both.

[batttman]

:(

God holds a place for all of you in heaven

and brothel owners with be getting fucked in the ass with a pitchfork for all eternity while the devils shits down their throat

[porbello9]

@batttman Their buddists so there really not going to be scared by your particular version of mad man in the sky.

[fitandfruity]

he is obviously a pedo, he has got 'issues'

[IFYouCanReadMeNow]

fucking sick assholes

[bundleHastings]

A police chief owns the brothel????????

[worldcommunity]

sorry Veltanshaung its the UN guys who are some of the main exploiters of these girls. The UN is full of pedophiles and corruption, they are part of the problem not part of the solution.

[jetboy0220]

the guys in the vid are pervs lol. they go there all the time i bet

[Veltanschaung]

UN should send a delegation to Cambodia and drag the brothel owners to jail. Second offence should receive death penalty. These girls need education and loving families. These "customers" should be hung in a public square beside the 'mamasans' bossses of these infernos! Billions to rescue Wall Street Madoff gangsters, and not a dime where it will save humanity, eh?! SHAME! Let's hope Obama doesn't keep silent on this.

[brwneyez27]

@Veltanschaung

I agree with ya

[KhmerSerey1]

bagoona,it is not the prostitutes that are worth $3,the $3 dollar whore is you,the fact that you have to pay for sex speak volume about you as a man,you're not even a man,people like you are called pedophiles.

[ccasia2008]

Kristof Confine your activities to where you live in the immoral USA!You live in a glass house so don't throw stones!

[ccasia2008]

Kristof mind your own business!When you play with fire you get burned!This business is part of our ancient culture!

[batman8075952]

you know.... the only way to save is first by population control. then by heavy governmental, like the whole super powers have to unite, and make interpool stronger. and we need to advocate all governemts to allocate a womens protection tax like 50% on all sales, transactions and all known fees by forcing the consumer/banker/company(s) to name the user of the currancy notes money and place "its name" so each and every currancy note must be taken to the governmental offices to secure the funding

[pechhh]

thank you for helping these girl

god will be with you all way

[KhmerSerey1]

There's are brothels here in the united state as well,take vegas for an example,you need not go far.

[bagoona]

Vegas for $3??? Khmer??? don`t think so.

[ccasia2008]

99.9% of Prostitutes enjoy the work they are doing! This ancient profession is part of humanity and our ancient culture! Mind your own business!

[desideedee]

People like you should just be locked in a dark room with sadistic perverts... no, eriously- I believe there is a god who let you as much suffer as you would let people suffer!

[MoniChristmasEVE]

CCasia2008, perhaps your family members are all prostitutes and that's why you understand so well about how they feel as a worker in the sex-trafficking industry. You even reach a percent of 99.9%..good luck with your negative thought.

[ccasia2008]

A young woman makes a old man feel good since ancient times as sex is good medicine!Mind your own business!

[ElainaWhitacker]

not FORCED PROSTITUTION!

rape of a six year old girl is adie sick and evil thing to do.

Worse is that because of the lack of education, men think that having sex with a Virgin with "purify" them.

So the six year old ends up with AIDS because of his ignorance. And dies for a sin that wasn't even her fault.

[coochicrook]

@ccasia2008

your a sick bitch!
