Cambodia: Valentine’s, Not Virginity Day
The
ministry of education in Cambodia issued a statement Tuesday imploring
teachers to impress upon their students that Valentine’s Day is not
about losing one’s virginity. “Cambodian students take Valentine’s Day
to mean ‘sweetheart day,’ and they buy flowers as a way to convince
girls to give up their virginity,” Education Minister Hang Chuon Naron
says in the statement. “In Europe, they give flowers out of friendship
on Valentine’s Day, to show their love to friends, relatives, and
parents.” Apparently, Cambodian youth believe the holiday is all about
losing virginity. “This year, we are asking teachers to properly advise
their students… to stop thinking anymore about Valentine’s Day,” he
said.
