Case

Cambodia's garment sector (2015 report)

Human Rights Watch documented forced overtime, short-term contracts used to control workers, and discrimination against pregnant women in factories supplying major brands. An industry case, not a single company.

Frameworks applied

This case is read through the frameworks below.

  • Exploitation and valid-consent testWhen a business owner reviews outsourced suppliers where workers "freely accept" poor conditions, is the firm exploiting them, and is that consent valid?
  • Three types of discriminationWhen an HR director finds gaps in hiring or promotion, is the cause intentional bias, unconscious bias or structural, and what remedy does each type need?
