Cambodian cafe cooks up alternative to sex work

Prostitution is still a major problem in Cambodia where an estimated 60,000 women, many just children, are hired by locals and foreigners. Hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign aid is pouring in to the country to try and give women better opportunities to keep them off the streets. Among those seeing results is the Yejj cafe, where women can be trained to work in hospitality.

Presenter: Conor Duffy
Speakers: Darren Marshall, Operations Manager, Yejj; Susanna West, Trainer, Yejj

ESTIMATED 60,000 sex workers? I estimate that its closer to 6 million. That number should get more sympathy and put more $$$$$$ in NGO pockets.
