"The issue of unemployment has made many daughters living in poor families throughout Cambodia leave their beloved homes to go to the city in order to find work. Moreover, many of them are forced to immigrate into other countries including North Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand, where they are faced with harsh labor conditions.
