Much is being done to help end child prostitution, but it is far from being solved. There are many organizations built to help the situation, humantrafficking.org, the salvation army, U.S Department of Justice among others.
News stations help to spread the word, as well as thecode.org, which recruits tourism industries worldwide to spread awareness, including the punishment of customers of the practice. Meaning, the men from the modern day world going specifically to Cambodia for prostitution who are already aware of it's illegality, but see it's enforcement loosely, if not regulated at all,in Cambodia, yet see that in many countries around the world, it is a crime against humanity and warrants 5 years or above, sometimes 17 years in prison.
We see children being abused, growing into abused men and women, yet many do little to change that. Those need to keep in mind that it is not only Cambodian men that solicit, but also American, European, and men from other parts of the world that partake in prostitution as customers.
If we leave this practice as is, who are we allowing into our society? Allowing these predators to exist near our children without due punishment, to lead their lives as respectful citizens, though secretly child rapists?
It is despicable in the least, when not even taking into account the lives of the children being bought and sold. Who deserves that, especially in the very beginning of life? Nobody.
