Prostitution part 2

There are some places in the world, on the other hand, that prostitution couldn’t be more brutal, vandal or inhumane. Cambodia and Thailand for instance are two of the most well-known child prostitution centres in the world. Children there, boys and girls by the age of 4-5 years old are sold by their families to brothels, where after horrible-terrifying tortures are being forced to sexual intercourses with clients from all over the world. The legal system there is wick, the police and the government are corrupted and everything is controlled by the Vietnamese and Thailand Mafia. Currently, 35% of prostitutes in Cambodia are under the age of 18 who didn’t choose this way of life when it was either sell their selves or horrible tortures, starvation and death. Moreover, half of the Cambodian prostitutes’ population was found HIV positive and the place is crowded with thousands paedophiles each year. Fortunately there are presently some compassionated humanitarians who seek to end this nightmare and save these innocent poor souls. Somaly Mam is a Cambodian girl who was raped by the age of 12 and was sold to a brothel at 15. When she was eighteen, she managed to escape from the brothel and gain proper education and a civilized, safe life. Somaly returned back to Cambodian as an adult, after years of raising money from all over the world and established a non-profit organisation in Cambodia, where children and former prostitutes like her could find refuge, food and a chance to live different, more decent life.
