Filmmaker Guy Jacobson and The K11 Project Battle Child Prostitution - Page 3

These action items are looked to be enacted on a country-by-country basis. The campaign has gained the support of major international law firms, as well as major and grassroots international and national human rights groups. Jacobson feels that he is the least likely to be pursuing this project, it doesn’t touch him directly, he has no children, no nieces, no nephews. But once he had those little girls, whose heads barely reached the tip of his tie, aggressively solicit him for sex, and some, actually reaching to touch his crotch, he felt the issue became personal.

The U.S. State Department has published a Trafficking in Persons Report which ranks countries by three levels according to their human trafficking reputations, a rank of one being designated for countries with good records to a rank of three being assigned to countries with horrible track records, with two falling somewhere in the middle of that. A few years back, Cambodia was ranked at the bottom of level three, moving into a level four, which doesn’t exist. Needless to say, its reputation was not a stellar one. Today, it is at a level two. The government has made progress by arresting foreign pedophiles coming into the country, establishing sex trafficking police units, and enforcing sexploitation laws.
