A Fine Thread

Four hundred thousand workers represent a never seen social shift and a political force in Cambodia, a country ruled for the last 28 years by Prime Minister Hun Sen and his ‘Cambodia People’s Party’ by relying on high levels of corruption, impunity and nepotism. Within this context the French Development Agency partly funds the ‘Better Factories Cambodia’ run by the International Labour Organisation, which strives to improve the working conditions of the factory workers in the country.
