Cambodia: SEX SLAVES [EN]

IT was fueled by the arrival of tens of thousands of predominantly male UN personnel in the wake of the 1993 peace keeping mission.

Young girls in Cambodia and from Vietnam sold in the sex slaves trade. Young girls as 8 years old are sold into prostitution, where the international should take a closer look at police chief Hok Lundy (Vietnamese agent) profile. The tip off properly from the police inside.

Vietnamese women and girls who work as commercial sex workers in Cambodia can be found in brothels, karaoke shops, massage parlors, dancing halls, and kokh-chol [coin-rubbing] places or in their own rented places. Not all of the Vietnamese women working in these places are victims of trafficking, although it is hard to draw a line between those who came voluntarily and those who were forced or deceived. They sometimes end up in the same places with similar working and living conditions.

Among the various places where Vietnamese commercial sex workers can be found, many different classes in price, beauty of girls, hygiene practices and openness can be distinguished. We visited brothels where the rooms were not more than some partition-walls made out of cardboard, whereas other brothels were big stone houses. These differences in brothels are related to the different price ranges and the different categories of customers for whom they are catering. As many studies have shown, the majority of the brothels are catering to Cambodians and charge prices varying from 2,000 riel to 20 dollars or more. In Phnom Penh and Kompong Som the most expensive places can be found, especially those catering for foreigners.

Some of the women working in these dancing halls are, indeed, independent, whereas others are working under the strict supervision of a taipan. A taipan is described as the boang [elder sister] of the girls. She is sometimes an ex-prostitute who has been assigned by the owner of a dancing hall/restaurant to facilitate between the clients and the prostitutes. A Vietnamese girl who worked in a dancing hall in Phnom Penh argued that her colleagues under supervision of the taipan are controlled like prostitutes in a brothel. They are not free to go, whereas she rented her own room and decides for herself whether she wants to go with clients, who are mostly tourists from different countries. When she thinks a customer is not good she doesn't go with him. Others are nice and take her for dai leeng [a trip] to Kompong Som or Siem Reap.

The very young girls working in brothels are perhaps least free. They are often not allowed to go out, especially those who are trafficked to be khui-ed, since they are among the most valuable for the meebon. Besides, their appearance might alarm police or NGO-workers, who could come to rescue the girls and arrest the meebon. These brothels were, therefore, most difficult to approach during this survey. However, in more open brothels and in shelters we talked to girls who had been forced to work in such environments. A 15-year old girl in a shelter remembered:

"We were not allowed to sit outside and call the guests with our hands. This was done by the meebon. If there were foreign guests, the meebon let my group receive the guests. The meebon let us only receive Taiwanese and foreign guests. If Khmer guests came, the meebon let the other prostitutes receive them."

You can't do much if a brothel is next to Hun Sen's house while police chief Hok Lundy gives bitch slap to Hun Sen.

The real reason this atrocity exists is the institution of currency. Abolish currency and give people what they need to survive, Food, shelter, clothing, water, transportation, energy, medical care and a relevant education. Abolish currency and this atrocity will cease to exist. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The real criminals are the ones who have enslaved us with currency, and placed us in debt bondage, WAKE UP !!!

I think that the police in the US, and many people in the US in general, tend to turn a blind eye because they think prostitution is a victimless crime. they see any criticism of it as rooted in prudishness, but obviously this is NOT a victimless crime. it is a human rights issue. How many "johns" KNOW whether or not the woman they are "seeing" is doing this by choice? This attitude only ads legitimacy to something absolutely abhorrent. Society's attitude needs to change.

We know the state and police are corrupt. But why hasn't anyone said anything about the sick pedophile clientele!! What grown man wants to have sex with a child? Without the sick clientele, no sick business. Why aren't there any punishments for that? Internationally.

i was involved in in the rescue of four girls from a Phnom Penh brothel in 1996 two ended back in there and two were cared for by World Vision.luckily i was pulled off the police raid of the brothel but the ECPAT cop went along and ended up with two guys on motorbikes looking 4 him the next day,Cambodian police are not to be trusted,there should be a death penalty for anyone found guilty of forcing kids to be abused and raped,
