The Sustainability Recommendation Paper on Promoting the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in the Garment, Footwear, and Travel Goods (GFT) Sector aims to strengthen diversity and equal employment opportunities in Cambodia’s GFT sector.

Despite being Cambodia’s largest employer and leading export sector, the GFT sector struggles to employ persons with disabilities, who are significantly underrepresented in the workforce. Existing national laws and guidelines are often not effectively enforced, and factories mention difficulties in reaching the required quotas. A comprehensive approach is therefore needed to improve disability inclusion within the sector.
