Abstract

The plight of garment workers worldwide at the onset of the pandemic rallied commitments from industry stakeholders to “Build Back Better”. However, as we show in this report, the challenges faced by workers in Cambodia have deepened, as COVID-19’s own crises have intersected with and exacerbated existing social, economic, and health vulnerabilities.
