Call for action against alcohol advertising.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

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.

She said: “Ministries and institutions with expertise should check and block advertising images which encourage alcohol use through public media.”

[Ouk Kimseng of the Information Ministry said ] “We have asked television stations to reduce alcohol advertisements or not to allow them at certain times,” he said. “We can’t end them completely like cigarettes, but we have already taken some action.”
In May, senators, Assembly members, civil society and youth groups called on the government to speed up the adoption of a draft law on alcohol to cut the risk caused by excess drinking.

A survey showed that 96 percent of people want the government to take effective action on the management of alcohol production and 95 percent support the prohibition of sales of alcohol to children and the use of alcohol by children.
