Cambodia
 

From March 25 to 27 trade unions, women's groups and labour rights organisations from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand met in Phnom Penh to plan the Asian contribution to Play Fair At The Olympics. Speakers at the meeting strongly emphasised that the campaign must focus on concrete ways that workers themselves can get more power to improve their lives. They particularly want sportswear brands to ensure that workers are allowed to form unions and bargain together for better wages and conditions.

The meeting was organised jointly by the Asia Monitor Resource Centre, the Thai Labour Campaign and the Clean Clothes Campaign and was hosted by Womyn's Agenda for Change.

On March 26, 2004, the second night of the meeting in Pnomh Penh, there was a trip out to local factory areas to meet with Cambodian women who work in garment and sportswear factories. By candle-light in tiny concrete rooms (each of which) housed up to three women) they discussed their lives and their work. All the people at the meeting were struck by the similarities in the issues facing these women and those facing women workers in their home countries in other parts of Asia.

From March 25 to 27 2003 trade unions, women's groups and labour rights organisations from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand met in Phnom Penh to plan the Asian contribution to Play Fair At The Olympics.
