SAFE ROADS FOR LIFE
SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUTING IN CAMBODIA
In May 2021 we initiated the Support to Safe and Sustainable Commuting for Garment & Footwear Workers in Cambodia (SSSC) Project, funded by CISU (Civilsamfund i Udvikling - Civil Society in Development). The project has been implemented in close collaboration with AIP Cambodia and other ongoing road safety projects.
Threat to safety
More than 700,000 workers, of whom 80% are women, commute to and from garment and footwear factories every day. The daily commuting imposes a threat to the safety of the workers due to dangerous road user behaviour, unsafe transportation, poor road infrastructure, and inadequate enforcement.
​
The SSSC is a one-year project aiming to improve the conditions and livelihood of workers by empowering them and ensuring that their safe commuting rights are exercised and protected.
Strengthen knowledge and skills
The SSSC Project seeks to strengthen the knowledge and skills of the staff at AIP Cambodia through training sessions on labour law, workers´ rights, facilitation, social media, and advocacy.
​
AIP Cambodia has used those skills to support capacity-building with Speak-up Champions in selected factories enabling them to represent workers and raise their concerns on unsafe commuting with relevant stakeholders and the public.
