PHNOM PENH (Kyodo) -- Cambodian authorities have launched a publicity campaign to curb sex among young people and students during St. Valentine's Day celebrations as the government seeks to limit unwanted pregnancies among young girls.
Sivann Botum, secretary of state for Women's Affairs, told Kyodo News that the ministry has produced a 30-minute video aimed at educating youth on the meaning of St. Valentine's Day within the context of the Khmer culture.
"Some young people do not understand the meaning of St. Valentine's Day, and they date and spend their time together in hotels and guest houses," she said.
Celebrations of St. Valentine's Day on Feb. 14 have become increasingly popular among the nation's youth and some students skip classes to go on a date.
Vendors flock to the vicinity of schools to sell flowers and St. Valentine's gifts.
Sivann Botum said the video features episodes on how to spend St. Valentine's Day, including one in which students hand food to their retired teacher as a way of honoring their loved ones.
To discourage students from skipping classes on Feb. 14, some schools have scheduled examinations for that day, Sivann Botum said.
Authorities have also banned vendors from selling flowers and gifts near schools around St. Valentine's Day, she said.
The Cambodian media are filled with stories of sexual misconduct by young people on St. Valentine's Day, prompting warnings from social critics over youthful sexual exuberance.

Khmer/Cambodian folks, please to make sure that it is not NEW HIDDENT/SECRET YUON/VIET AGENTS THAT FORM NEW KHMER ROUGES AS YUON/VIET PROPAGANDA in the blind eyes of foreigners and Khmer people again.
It is has been a Yuon/Viet trick and secret among Khmer Society. There are many Yuon/Viet born in Cambodian/Srok Khmer speaking Khmer language and their Yuon language. They may causes the problem again in 21st century.
We,Khmer people, should know that Without Khmer Rouges like Pol Pot, Ieng Sari, Khiev Saphan, Noun Chea (who had done the big mistakes and wrong, but they admitted that they had said that they had done something wrong and told the truth in ECCC about Yuon/Viet) including other Khmer Rouges Compatriots who care about Khmer National because they repeatedly heard about the trick of Yuon/Viet playing too many games and tricks to encroach the land of Khmer to overcome and satisfy Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh goals as their plans. So far, Viet/Yuon master-minded evil leaders have not achieved their goals so far until today, but they still keep trying and keep trying to play the trick. Now, Khmer people, you see that Hun Sen is the one that Yuon/Viet Communist Master-Minded evil masters are using him (Hun Sen, their dog) until today. SEE???
Just watch out, Khmer/Cambodian people and don't be fooled.
Wake up, wake up, wake up!!! It is a wake-up call!!!
Khmer Yeurng!
