Sep 2002Shocking and heart-rending secret footage takes us into the heart of Cambodia's child sex trade. We see girls as young as ten offered for sex, and uncover a web of corruption that shows little remorse.Chanting 'yum yum', the slang for oral sex, girls clamour for attention in a back streets brothel. They are ten years old. "Cambodian men believe that having sex with virgins boosts their sexual appetite, their strength, their integrity," explains Mu Sochua, Minister for Women's Affairs. Sunremita was tricked by her mother into prostitution to make money for her sick relatives. But the proliferation of child prostitutes is down to more than just poverty -- rife corruption also compounds the problem. In Svey Pak, police storm a brothel. A few girls are collected, but pimps and owners are left in peace. "For every single hour that [the brothels] operate the police are paid to let them," states Sochua. Even when paedophiles are arrested, it seems easy to escape justice. Photos of padlocks locked around the genitals of a 13-year old boy clearly show sexual abuse. But the French national accused walked away from court free, despite photos and the testimony of ten boys. Pol Pot tried deliberately to destroy the family; greed and corruption will hopefully not finish the job.Produced by ABC AustraliaDistributed by Journeyman Pictures
fine i don't define it, but then u don't define shit either, you're not special and neither is your dumbshit husbandgirls being used is fine i am a tourist myself it's fucking awesome and despite all these videos and 'awareness' it's going to get even better in the future lol i didn't watch the whole video because it bored me so i don't know if they addressed this, but the places i've been to have a much more flexible system than here and the law changes depending on how much you can pay.

pokkadotus: so is it ok if YOUR kids sell themselves to support their very own kids/families? will the cycle never end?

I would sell myself as a prostitute and let my kids lead a normal life.

THIS IS DISGRACEFUL AND WHAT IS ANYONE DOING ABOUT IT? a true man is someone who desires the love and consent of a WOMAN!!!!

How can fully grown adults with morals and intuitive do this to innocent children? No chance to live for themselves then the just die of AIDS before they reach 20. The Cambodian men treat those poor kids like sex tools.
