One important hard-to-reach, high-risk group in Cambodia is the growing population of female entertainment workers (FEWs). FEWs are women working in entertainment venues such as karaoke bars, massage parlors, restaurants (as hostesses or singers) or beer gardens. FEWs frequently sell sex, directly or indirectly, to male patrons to supplement their income. By 2013, there were approximately 40,000 FEWs in Cambodia, 24,000 of whom resided in the capital city of Phnom Penh. This group has been increasing since the 2008 passage and implementation of the 'Law on Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation,' which banned brothel-based sex work, and more women have moved into indirect sex work based out of entertainment venues.
