Organising in Cambodia in the face of repression

Tuesday, 9 May 2017 - 8:30am to 9:00am

We speak with a worker organiser based in Cambodia, visiting Australia as a guest of APHEDA. APHEDA is the international aid arm of the Australian labour movement. Organising is very heavily repressed in Cambodia, and listerners might recall the demos in 2013 by garment workers, fighting for a minimum wage. Those demonstrations resulted in mass arrests and the murder of two of those activists. Given the repression, what are conditions like for workers and what does it take to organise?

Tuesday 8:30am to 9:00am
A program by and about women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Distributed nationally on the Community Radio Network.
