As the government tries to crack down on prostitution, many are asking how much the new efforts are further worsening conditions for sex workers.Chantha said there was nothing else she could do in Cambodia but become a sex worker.
"If you don't even have a dollar in your pocket to buy rice, how can you bear looking at your starving relatives?" she said. "You do whatever to survive, until you start to realize the consequence of your deeds."
Chanta, in her early twenties, was working in a small red-light district west of the capital Phnom Penh several months ago when she was arrested under Cambodia's new sex-trafficking law.
Police nabbed her in a raid and charged her with publicly soliciting sex, fining her nearly two dollars. Then, Chanta claims, the arresting officers gang-raped and beat her for six days in detention.
Bruises covered her body, but none of her assailants were brought to court, she said.
