项目摘要

The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant repercussions on the global garment industry, of huge importance not only to Cambodia's economy, but also to its 1 million workers, 80% of whom are women. Many garment factories are interrupting production with the effect that 1/4 of workers have been dismissed or temporarily suspended. Formal social protection in the sector, though improving due to multi-stakeholder efforts, is weak and fragile. Mixed-method longitudinal research will track and amplify the experiences and coping mechanisms of 200 women workers as they navigate the financial repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project's interdisciplinary team from human geography, political economy, and organisation studies will generate new knowledge on underlying and differentiating determinants of risk and resilience arising from formal and informal social protections.The ambitious study will focus its policy attention on learning to 'Build Back Better' social protection to prevent and mitigate longer-term impacts of the pandemic and future risk events. Our approach centres women's representation in planning and decision-making as critical to 'stitching back better' just and resilient garment supply chains to make progress towards gender equality (SDG5), inclusive economic growth and decent work (SDG8). The project's impact, within its 18-month lifetime, will be compelled by its partnerships with, and pro-active convening together, of government (Cambodian Ministry of Labor, British Embassy), regulators (ILO, Better Factories Cambodia), industry (Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia, H&M), think tanks (ODI), workers' organisations (CATU, the only female-led union in Cambodia), and women's media (Women's Media Center and the Messenger Band).

199年的大流行对全球服装行业产生了重大影响，不仅对柬埔寨的经济，而且对其100万工人，其中80％是妇女而言。许多服装工厂正在中断生产，其影响是1/4工人被解雇或暂时停职。该部门的正式社会保护虽然由于多方利益相关者的努力而改善，但却是薄弱而脆弱的。混合方法的纵向研究将在200名女工人的经验和应对机制中追踪和扩大他们的经验和应对机制，因为她们会导致COVID-19-19大流行的财务影响。该项目的人类地理，政治经济学和组织研究的跨学科团队将为基础和区分风险和韧性的决定因素而产生新的知识。雄心勃勃的研究将重点关注其政策的关注，以学习为“建立更好的社会保护”，以预防和减轻较长的现象和未来风险事件的长期影响。我们的方法将妇女在计划和决策方面的代表性对“更好地缝制”公正和有弹性的服装供应链至关重要，以在性别平等（SDG5），包容性的经济增长和体面的工作（SDG8）方面取得进步。 The project's impact, within its 18-month lifetime, will be compelled by its partnerships with, and pro-active convening together, of government (Cambodian Ministry of Labor, British Embassy), regulators (ILO, Better Factories Cambodia), industry (Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia, H&M), think tanks (ODI), workers' organisations (CATU, the only female-led union in柬埔寨）和妇女媒体（妇女媒体中心和信使乐队）。
