In Cambodia, the 100% Condom Use Policy - created to "protect" sex workers and curb HIV/AIDS - is reportedly being used by local police as an instrument to harass, persecute, and criminalize sex workers.

Caught Between the Tiger and the Crocodile, produced by Asia Pacific Network of Sex Workers (APNSW), tells the stories of women that have been arrested for carrying condoms, which are then used as evidence of sex work (illegal after new anti-trafficking laws were introduced earlier this year).
