Most problems faced by the Poipet street children/youth population were related to<br />

violence (12 percent), Bong Thom (6.8 percent) and health (5.1 percent). However,<br />

more than two thirds of the street children/youth (69.2 percent) in Poipet were not able<br />

to provide any information on the problems they were faced with on the streets. This<br />

year’s survey generally provides limited information on these issues compared to last<br />

year, thus limiting the basis for a comparative data analysis between the two years.<br />

However, in the SCP 2008, health related problems were the main problem faced on<br />

the streets in Poipet, at 27 percent compared to only 5.1 percent this year. Regarding<br />

violence and Bong Thom related problems – both interrelated categories - there has<br />

been a similar decrease from 20 to 12 percent and 12.2 to 6.8 percent respectively.<br />
