The trend in Sihanoukville regarding the time spent on the streets before getting<br />

registered at the CSCN service centre (M’Lop Tapang) points to an interesting result<br />

when compared to the results of the other Cambodian locations. A majority of the street<br />

children/youth spend one year or more on the streets and a relatively high number in<br />

the 3+ category. More precisely, 22.1 percent of the children/youth spent less than one<br />

year and 77.9 percent spent one year or more. In the 2008 CSCN profile only 51 percent<br />

of the children spend one year or more. According to CSCN member M’Lop Tapang,<br />

this tendency reflects the fact that the majority of the children/youth are working on the<br />

streets.<br />
