sexual services to the other people for money . There are 50% of the countries in the world legalize 10% of the countries limited the legality, and Cambodia is one in the 40% countries that prostitution is consider as illegal.

Majority of Cambodia people do not support prostitution because it have more dis avantage than advantage.

2.Affect with law

Prostitution is not complying by Cambodia law. Because its cause bad impact on the value of female.

In human right people are not commercial business of providing the sexual service and who take must be imprison from one year to five years, and punished from 5 million Riels to 30 million Riel.

Article 7 states that « Any person who opens a place for committing  prostitution, shall be punishable to imprisonment. »

4.Government PolicyOur government policy do not support

prostitution. Royal Government of Cambodia advertises Cambodia as the place for enjoying natural and cultural tourism but if not the state of legalizes prostitution.

11

4.Government PolicyIf government accept prostitutes are recognized as

legal workers have 2 point to considered:Salary: It is very difficult for government to limit

salary per month for prostitutes like other legal job.

respect of working conditions : women do not have the right to work at night between 10 pm to 5 am ((Articles 175 and 144) ; do not have the right to work more than 48 hours a week (Article 137), do not have the right to work more than 6 consecutive days ((Article 146).

12

5.Against by Women Most of the women do not accept the

prostitues as legal job cause this action make their family become more suffering because of their husband.

This suffering can give a lot of problem especially suicide always happen and economic in family up down.

The most importance point relationship of mother, father and children become serious from day to day.

13

5.Agianst by WomenNot only affect women feeling but also their

children can make their study become bad result difficult to find a job in the future.

Most of the women get more violence from their husband because of third person.

5.Against by Women

15

6.Criminal in whole country

Most of the female prostitues always use drug because its have a lot of benefit for them especially help their mental and physical let them not feeling tired in their work

Source come from their sexual partner especially foreigner.

When drugs are traffic in country burglar rapidly rate because of find money to buy its with expensive prices.

Poverty in whole country increase from day to day.

16

6.Criminal in whole country

17

7.Affect khmer CultureWomen can’t sexual with partner who not yet

married cause khmer culture is demand more problem about viginity that the main point most of the people give value to the women.

Khmer Culture will be looked down from other country.

Khmer culture will not exist anymore because young generation don’t know what their own culture is?

18

8.EconomicIf Sex-workers with a legal job would have to pay taxes.

They would have to pay two taxes : taxes on their salary. taxes for the business they are collectively running.Not only these 2taxes but also they have to payto the

Workers Collective that would include : rent of the place they are working insecurity guardscondomselectricity and other servicesHealthcareBut finally no one accept this request.

19

9.We are buddhistMaybe 90%of population in Cambodia are

buddhist.Buddhism give a lot of good points in

proposal let people to do good deep also have point related to sexual without permission from each partner or love other husband and wife .

These action are sin and against to the buddhism cause we are buddhist also must be respect buddhism.

20

1o. More ignorance peopleCambodia is developing country most of poor

people are more than rich people.Especially a lot of girl who live in rural area

that doesn’t have ability to study their parents always let them come to city to find job to get money supply their family become sexual worker cause its can get more money than other job because they are ignorance people never go to school can’t find job which get more money like this job.

21

11.HIV/AIDS Increase

Female prostitutes often have 200-300 sexual partners per year and therefore assumed to have much higher rates of exposure to HIV and AIDS .

Also transmitted this virus to the men and the men could, in turn, infect their other sexual partner occur among people .

Population of the HIV/AIDs increase make government feel very worried cause rate of dead people are rapidly.

22

11.HIV/AIDS Increase

23

12.Public HealthIf prostitution as legalize job ministry of

health in Cambodia set the rule that all staff would be submitted to check their health and HIV/AIDS blood tests one time per year but sexual worker can’t accept it.

24

12.Public HealthSex-workers would probably try to avoid such

health checks because of fear lost their ability on their work no one need her and dicrimination will be happen immediately.

STD(Sexual Transmition Disease) would be increase also affect to many next generation cause transmitted from their mother who is female prostitue or from their sexual partner.

25

13.SummarizeFor all these reasons, legalization in

Cambodia would be difficult to implement.Because of government saw more negative points than poaitive points.

Moreover, Cambodia has signed International Conventions, which are against to the concept of prostitution legalization indicates clearly that prostitution and sexual exploitation can not be separated and that prostitution can not be recognized as legitimate work.
