Cambodia taxi drivers fight abuse
By Judy Harry,WNS Cambodia Correspondent
SIHANOUKVILLE - The Cambodian seaside town of Sihanoukville has adopted a new strategy to deter sex tourists. Motorbike taxi drivers have been enlisted as the first line of defence for the town's children. They have been trained to recognise dangerous situations and take the appropriate action. Cambodia has a reputation as being a safe haven for sex tourists, but recently a number child sex offenders have been successfully prosecuted. Earlier this week, a court in Sihanoukville jailed a German man for 10 years. Now the people of the town are taking further steps to make their community a safer place for children. The ChildSafe scheme uses specially-trained moto taxi drivers to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity.
