Sex trafficking in Cambodia

Anti-sex trafficking initiatives have been impeded by corruption, apathy, border management problems, fractured social institutions, weak law enforcement, and more.

Cambodian women and girls are sex trafficked into China, Hong Kong,[12] Vietnam, Japan,[13][14] and other countries throughout the world.

They are imposed by coercion into marriages or brothels,[15] including phony massage parlors and karaoke bars,[16] and unfree labour in homes or on farms.

[22] Women and girls from families in poverty [23] and that lack education, as well as children and minorities, are vulnerable to sex trafficking.

The global spread of high-speed internet and increase in computer, tablet, and smart phone ownership has fueled online sex abuse.

[33] AIM created its own brothel-raiding SWAT team that works alongside the Cambodian police to capture traffickers and rescue girls.

Women and girls are sex trafficked in and out of all the provinces of Cambodia . They are raped and physically and psychologically harmed in brothels, homes, hotels, and other locations throughout these administrative divisions. [ 1 ]
