Cambodia 🇰🇭
Country District Guide
❌ Prostitution Illegal
Cambodia maintains a strict legal ban on the commercialization of sex beneath the 2008 Law on the Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation. Triggered heavily by international pressures, this legislation blanketly criminalized prostitution, pimping, and operating brothels. Rather than eradicating the industry, the laws simply drove historical red-light networks deep underground into generalized entertainment venues like karaoke bars (KTVs) and massage parlors.
