Steps of Justice
Above is a link to a ministry we would like to plug in with for some of our training.
Let's be a part of the solution-that is JESUS CHRIST!
BACKGROUND: THE ISSUE
In Cambodia, children are trafficked for sexual exploitation or forced to solicit anything from
flowers to postcards. Children trafficked into organized begging rings often end up being
sexual exploited. In fact, NGOs report that nearly one third of trafficking victims in prostitution
are children. Due to Cambodia’s tragic history of genocide, half of its population is now under
the age of twenty. Cambodia faces a problem of trying to provide decent work to its young
population.The issue further increases cross border migration and perpetuates the
vulnerability to human trafficking.
Cambodia is a destination for child sex tourism. The sale of virgins is devastatingly
problematic within Cambodia. NGO’s estimate foreign (mostly Asian) men pay $800 to $4,000
to have sex with a virgin. Cambodia thrives on tourist dollars, considering it is a major
economic contributor to development. However, many of these tourists visit for the purpose of
paying a premium to have sex with children.
