Kurzbeschreibung:

This report presents the findings of a large-scale, nationally representative survey of sexual harassment in the Cambodian garment industry. It combines quantitative survey data from 1,287 workers across 52 factories, with 25 qualitative interviews and 9 focus groups conducted in a variety of different living and working environments. Specifically, the objectives of the study were to:

1. Estimate the prevalence of sexual harassment reported by female and male workers
2. Estimate the annual cost of productivity lost to the garment industry due to sexual harassment affecting its workers by estimating indirect costs of turnover, absenteeism and presenteeism (direct and indirect tangible costs)

3. Examine the harmful negative effects of sexual harassment experienced by female and male workers

Kurzbeschreibung:

Of the 40 million people trapped in modern slavery today, 70 percent of them are women and girls. Every day across the globe, millions of women and girls are used, controlled and exploited for commercial or personal gain. They are trafficked into the sex industry, kept in servitude as domestic workers in private homes, forced to work in exploitative conditions in factories and bonded into agricultural labour. They suffer terrible violence and are denied their basic rights and freedoms.

Our report, “Her freedom, her voice: Insights from the Freedom Fund’s work with women and girls “, draws on insights from our last four years working in countries with a high burden of slavery. The report identifies promising approaches to tackle this scourge, and highlights priorities for further research and investment.

The Freedom Fund has sought to identify and invest in the most effective frontline efforts to eradicate slavery. Across ‘hotspots’ in Ethiopia, India and Nepal we are supporting frontline NGOs to tackle the risks and vulnerabilities that communities face, including the specific vulnerabilities faced by women and girls. From building rights awareness and keeping girls in school, to opening up new economic opportunities and improving conditions in the workplace, our local partners are working to help women and girls protect themselves from slavery, address the root causes of their exploitation, recover from trauma, prosecute those who abuse them and activate government to take responsibility. 

Globally, more research and sharing of knowledge is needed on the most effective frontline strategies to address the gender dimensions of slavery. In an effort to contribute to this knowledge, this report draws together lessons from Freedom Fund-supported interventions to date.

Kurzbeschreibung:
Zum ersten Mal gibt es direkte Aufnahmen von einem schlagenden Aufseher in einer Fabrik in Bangladesch. In einer Szene der Dokumentation des britischen Nachrichtensender ITV vom 06.02.2014 wird gezeigt, wie einer der Aufseher ein minderjähriges Mädchen ins Gesicht schlägt. Das junge Mädchen wird als „Nutte “ und „Tochter eines Schweins“ beschimpft. Die Dokumentation deckt weitere erschreckende Zustände auf: Notausgänge sind verschlossen, inakzeptable, überlange Arbeitszeiten, unregelmäßige Vergütung der Überstunden sowie überfüllte Produktionsräume.

Der Film wurde von zwei bangladeschischen Frauen undercover in den Fabriken gedreht. In der Textilfabrik „Olira Fashions“, die für die britische Marke „Lee Cooper Jeans“ produziert, schuften 40 Kinder im Alter von 11–15 Jahren bis zu 11 Stunden für 36,- Euro pro Woche (Daily Telegraph 06.02.14).
