Air France currently shows this video on their flights. About 2 million children worldwide are under 18 and enslaved in the sex trade. Child prostitution is a crime. Support businesses fighting child sex tourism. Visit www.thecode.org to learn more. Hotel chains like Carlson (owner of Radisson) and Accor (owner of Sofitel, Novitel, Motel 6 etc), European airlines like Air France, and travel agencies all over the world have signed on to a 6 point plan to fight child prostitution. There are many myths: that sex tourists are helping the children earn money, that it is legal and acceptable in other countries, and that children are less likely to have HIV. ALL are myths. Child prostitution is illegal, prosecutable (and they are prosecuting) no matter where you commit this crime, and it is a physically and mentally torturous life for the child. When you travel, please patronize companies who are helping to fight this sick and brutal crime. There is a list of companies at www.thecode.org.

The Kingdom of Cambodia (formerly known as Kampuchea) is a country in South East Asia with a population of over 14 million people. The kingdom’s capital and largest city is Phnom Penh. Cambodia is the successor state of the once powerful Hindu and Buddhist Khmer Empire, which ruled most of the Indochinese Peninsula between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries.

A citizen of Cambodia is usually identified as “Cambodian” or “Khmer,” though the latter strictly refers to ethnic Khmers. Most Cambodians are Theravada Buddhists of Khmer extraction, but the country also has a substantial number of predominantly Muslim Cham, as well as ethnic Chinese, Vietnamese and small animist hill tribes.

The country borders Thailand to its west and northwest, Laos to its northeast, and Vietnam to its east and southeast. In the south it faces the Gulf of Thailand. The geography of Cambodia is dominated by the Mekong river (colloquial Khmer: Tonle Thom or “the great river”) and the Tonlé Sap (”the fresh water lake”), an important source of fish. Its culture is heavily influenced by Thailand and Laos.
