presentation will be conducted in the chapter analysing the questionnaire results. Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia and also a major centre for economic activity – conse-quently being the main migration destination and attracting the biggest group of street children in Cambodia. Siem Reap is the primary tourist destination in Cambodia given its proximity to the Angkor temples, which has led to a growing street child population who make a living out of begging, selling to tour-ists and other related activities. Neak Loeung is a major transit town, where people and goods move from the Prey Veng and Svay Rieng provinces on their way to Phnom Penh. Neak Loeung is moreover located on the route from Phnom Penh to Vietnam. Several children are working at the ferry terminal, hoping to finally move on to Phnom Penh. Sihanoukville is another site attracting several foreign tourists each year due to its location on the south coast. The tourism attracts children to work on the beaches either selling souvenirs, food, massages or begging. As the number of tourists coming to Sihanoukville has risen considerably in the last years, so has the number of young street living and working children. Kampong Cham is the most populated province in Cambodia. The town of Kampong Cham has accordingly become a migration destination. Poor families with young children migrate to the town with notions of prosperity, only to find high unemployment rates and few housing options – in-creasing the prospect of children either working or living on the streets. Poipet is the major border crossing town with Thailand and has shown rapid growth in a space of a few years based on cross-border trade, smuggling and the local casino industry. These well-paid industries have attracted families and whole communities, who come in search of a better liveli-hood. CSCN 12 CSCN Street Children Profile 2009
Frame I: General Statistical Overview Following the issues covered in the questionnaire survey (Frame III), it has been possible to divide the content of this secondary data review into relevant themes such as: Education; Gender Issues; Migration/Trafficking; HIV/AIDS; Substance Abuse; and Legal Issues. Still, it is necessary to clarify the criteria for document selection as the topic of street children and related issues have drawn severe attention, resulting in a vast production of reports and discussion papers on definitional and impact issues. The collection of data (documents and statistics) was primarily derived from official publications of <strong>International</strong> Organisations (IOs) (e.g. UNICEF, UNDP, WHO, ADB, ILO, Amnesty <strong>International</strong>); the Governmental Organisations (GOs); NGOs; and research papers. In addition, discussing the findings in the selected secondary data with key personal of the CSCN network with knowledge of each theme, added to the validity of the information compiled. Moreover, statistics from multiple sources were compiled in order to cross-check the validity of a specific source. Using this method is a way to eliminate the biases often seen in official reports of IOs, GOs and NGOs wishing to convey the best/worst results in order to show positive results or to attract funds. Frame II: Snapshot Survey A snapshot survey is a periodic count that produces primary data estimating the number of street children/youth on one specific day in one geographical area. This second analytical frame, Frame II, contains the information attained in a snapshot survey of street children/youth in six central Cambodian locations carried out on December 20 th , 2007. In this years’ edition of the SCP, data from the SCP 2008 snapshot survey have thus been reapplied. By only conducting the survey every second year the idea is to create a sufficient time gap for comparing and unfolding changing tendencies. The quantitative snapshot survey was completed by staff of each of the seven CSCN member organisations, who were briefed in advance on the methodology. The guidelines for the snapshot survey were: • Introduce yourself to the child/youth and briefly explain the purpose of the SCP 2009; CSCN CSCN Street Children Profile 2009 13
