An estimated 700,000 workers in Cambodia sew and package over $5 billion worth of clothing, textiles and shoes every year — constituting a third or more of the country’s GDP. It’s a powerful sector and, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW), one riddled with abuse. The report finds that in factories, workers — nearly all of them young women — are paid a pittance. Many are forced to work double and triple shifts, kept on temporary contracts and face retaliation when they try to unionize or become pregnant.
