PHNOM PENH – The American Apparel & Footwear Association has urged the Cambodian government to take action against the practice of child labour and the burning of mixed garment waste in the country’s brick kiln industry.
The letter from the AAFA follows a report from the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) which was based on visits to 21 brick factories in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, and the neighbouring province of Kandal, as well as interviews with workers.
