Life of a young Cambodian cart porter



Publisher's remark: 

This video documentary shows the story of 13-years-old girl who was abandoned by her parents. Experts says what she has been doing right now, cart porter, is considered as worst form of child labor. With one older sister and brother living separately, she has no choice but starts her life as bagger, umbrella holder and cart porter in the Thai market, Rong Kleur, to earn money for living. Earning just little money for each day spending, around 4 dollars, Srey Houy sometimes decides to cross border illegally to smuggle cloth from Cambodia to Thailand because she is promised to be paid in higher price. Unfortunately, she is also often caught, detained and beaten by Thai soliders as consequence. She wishes to open cosmetic shop in the future, but she says the wish could be only a dream which wil never come true.

Red alert, Vietnam keeps getting huge high-tech factories to be built by Korea. Cambodia has none.

I counted so far Vietnam got 4 huge factories from Samsung, 4 factories from LG, 1 from Intel. Each factory is so huge, it can produce as much export values as all Cambodian garment factories combined.

Thank you Scam Rainsy, keep on fighting and drive away good job to Vietnam.
