Meet Phat Sinoun – a 29-year-old former worker from Prey Veng province, Cambodia.
Sinoun is a HR assistant in a garment factory where she manages data covering critical contract issues such as working hours and benefits. It’s a good job with a decent wage and she and her husband soon plan to buy a home. It’s a long way to come for an orphan who could not afford to finish high school.
Better Factories Cambodia (BFC) first met Sinoun in 2013 when she was selected from a pool of 313 applications to compete in BFC’s Radio Labor Law Competition designed to broaden awareness on Cambodia’s Labour Law. “I didn’t know what the competition was about, and I didn’t know very much about the labour law, but I wanted to try anyway,” said the then 21-year-old garment factory worker. Nevertheless, Sinoun went home with the first place cash prize of $US 200—triple her monthly salary.
