Curb Alcohol Ads: Deputy PM

Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam An called yesterday for action against alcohol advertisements, particularly those aimed at women. She said experts were worried about the issue because many young women were attracted to alcohol and suffered violence because of it.
 

She told a seminar at the InterContinental Phnom Penh Hotel that in recent years alcohol advertisements had become very attractive to those who saw or heard them. The ads gave confusing messages about alcohol.
 

Ms. Sam An, who is also Cambodian Women’s Association for Peace and Development president, urged action to reduce the negative aspects of alcohol use. She said laws should be enforced effectively to protect women and children and to prevent the influence of alcohol and violence on them.
