Elle est still angry at the world

Today's subject: Human Traffic. Resumes. Following from our last blog,
Cambodia is just one of many countries.
These attrocities just one form of the injustice our world is built on.

And get this, no matter how many laws are signed, Cambodia's corrupt powers-that-be has no intention to interrupt what has turned into a 'tourism' industry worth millions a year. The country is now an attraction for pedophiles keen on exploring new avenues after other South-East Asian nations such as Thailand and Vietnam. And here is a bit of irony to make you weep: the country's sex trade grew in the early 90s to service UN troops overseeing the transition to the current democratic government (shock, horror, an all too familiar feeling of disgust) After they left, brothel owners realized they could make good bucks catering for foreign tourists and local pedophiles, and Cambodia's child-sex trade was born.
How refreshing.
