CAT/C/KHM/CO/2 encourages the State party, in cooperation with relevant partners, to find sustainable and humane alternatives for disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, including persons living and working in the streets, and to provide such groups with the type of assistance they require. Sexual violence, including rape 21. The Committee expresses its serious concern that, according to the State party’s Neary Rattanak III Five Year Strategic Plan 2009-2013, violence against women remains widely prevalent in Cambodia with indications of increasing incidence of at least some forms of gender-based violence, particularly rape. The Committee is also concerned at reports from non-governmental sources about a growing number of rape reports, including against very young girls and gang rapes, that sexual violence and abuse particularly affect the poor, that women and children who are victims of such violence have limited access to justice, and that there is an acute lack of medical services and psychosocial support to such victims. (arts. 1, 2, 4, 11, 13 and 16) The State party should take effective measures to prevent and combat sexual violence and abuse against women and children, including rape. To this end, the State party should establish and promote an effective mechanism for receiving complaints of sexual violence and investigate such complaints, providing victims with psychological and medical protection as well as access to redress, including compensation and rehabilitation, as appropriate. The Committee requests the State party to provide statistics on the number of complaints of rape as well as information on investigations, prosecutions and convictions in such cases. Human trafficking 22. The Committee welcomes the information provided by the delegation on measures taken to repatriate and protect persons subjected to trafficking, the adoption, in 2008, of anti-trafficking legislation and the Second National Plan on Human Trafficking and Sex Trafficking, 2006-2010, the activities of the Department of Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection of the Ministry of Interior as well as other legislative, administrative and police measures to combat trafficking. However, the Committee notes with serious concern reports that a high number of women and children continue to be trafficked from, through and within the country for purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labour. The Committee is also concerned at the lack of statistics provided by the State party, including the number of complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions of perpetrators of trafficking, and the lack on information on practical measures adopted to prevent and combat such phenomena, including medical, social and rehabilitative measures. (arts. 1, 2, 4, 12 and 16) The State party should intensify its efforts to prevent and combat trafficking in human beings, especially women and children, including by implementing the anti-trafficking legislation, providing protection for victims and ensuring their access to medical, social, rehabilitative and legal services, including counselling services, as appropriate. The State party should also create adequate conditions for victims to exercise their right to make complaints, conduct prompt, impartial and effective investigations into all allegations of trafficking and ensure that those who are found guilty of such crimes are punished with penalties appropriate to the nature of their crimes. Children in detention 23. The Committee welcomes the efforts made by the State party to reform its juvenile justice system, including the draft juvenile justice law and the establishment, in 2006, of an 9
