"Sexual harassment is happening at the Myanmar Dongxin factory", 13 April 2024
Female workers working at the Myanmar Dongxin Garment Factory say sexual abuse is happening.
Around 1,000 workers are working in the factory...
"He held my shoulder...There are some types of waist holding. They do that to other working women... said the woman.
In addition, the woman said that the person who went out and physically sexually assaulted her...worked as a technical expert from line 6 to line 10...
Brands such as TIGORA, VOYAGER, WindCore, CAMP 7, LCW VISION, LC WAIKIKI are being sewn at the factory, and a...male representative of the brand (LCW VISION/LC WAIKIKI) is also in the workplace, a female worker said.
"That brand representative is also asking to [be] introduce[d] to women garment workers through super[visors]...Some of them left their jobs after being told that," said a worker.
A member of the Labor Federation said that [the] men's disdainful treatment of Burmese women in factories is not only sexual but also psychological.
"It's not sexual harassment, it's emotional harassment. Because of this harassment, girls are insecure..." A member of the Labor Federation said.
If no action is taken against these sexual harassments, the unthinkable will happen to the female workers in Myanmar, said the female member of Labor Aid...
On March 26, some of the workers at the factory worked overtime, and in the evening when three male workers were eating bread, a group of plainclothes men with a car and knives tried to pull them away.
