Nightclub hostesses and other “adult entertainment workers” in Cambodia now have worker’s rights that are protected under labor laws after a new regulation was enacted on Wednesday, September 8, according to the Bangkok Post.
The regulation was passed in an effort to address labor-related violations that infringe on worker’s human rights, such as sexual harassment and excessive working hours, according to Cambodia’s labor and tourism ministries.
