In a new "World's Untold Stories" program airing on January 26th, CNN travels to Cambodia to examine the heartbreaking stories of Southeast Asia's child sex industry.
Seen through the eyes of Aaron Cohen, CNN goes undercover into the karaoke brothels where sex with a child costs the same as a round of drinks. We witness the destitution and deprivation that keeps the young girls in the brothels and we're there when Cohen pays his final respects to the teenage girl he'd rescued, but couldn't save from the heartless grip of prostitution, in the face of her family's poverty.
What's uncovered in this half-hour will shed new light into the dark corners of the human trafficking problem in Cambodia, where we discover in many cases, the blame for the children's exploitation lies not solely with the pimps and madams.
The documentary will enlighten and inspire new conversation about e challenges currently preventing aid workers and authorities from declaring battle in the struggle to free children from this most despicable form of modern-day slavery.

ReplyDeleteI will believe when you in it.
ReplyDeleteThere now deny about prostitute but CNN might want to do some documentary on its own back yard re the below mentioned comment by the editor of Bangkok Post
ReplyDelete"Last week, the US court gave a five-year sentence to two employers in Hawaii who subjected 44 Thai workers to forced labour, debt bondage and confinement through confiscation of official documents".

ReplyDeleteSex sells. So CNN loves to do this kind of show. It also true that Cambodian government must work harder to eliminate this evil trade in our society.

I was in Phnom Penh, Siam Reap and many other smaller villages. I did see some small-scale prostitution, but nothing much. I have also been in Atlanta, Georgia USA the very home of CNN and let me tell you something: You would not believe the amount of FREAKY prostitution in that fair city of Atlanta, within walking distance of the CNN studios. There are underaged boys and girls, and ladyboys all over the streets and drugs, and everything else you can imagine! I was shocked, and I am not easily shocked. At least there are cops sitting around watching a lot of it happen. I am a world traveller, and have lived in many US cities, so I know what I am comparing this to. CNN should do a "special" on the sex for sale in the shadow of their own headquarters and quit smearing poor little Cambodia!
