4 | After launching a nationwide strike last December, Cambodia's garment workers are back in the streets demanding a monthly minimum wage of 177 US dollars. | Rehefa nanao fitokonana manerana ny firenena ny mpiasan'ny fanaovana akanjo ao Kambodza tamin'ny volana desambra lasa teo dia niverina an-dalambe indray mitaky ny karama ambany indrindra ho 177 dolara amerikana isam-bolana. |
5 | Last year's strike was organized to pressure the government to raise the monthly wage, which at that time stood at 80 dollars. | Ny fitokonana tamin'ny herintaona dia nokarakaraina hanerena ny governemanta hampakatra ny karama farany ambany indrindra izay teo amin'ny 80 dolara amerikana isam-bolana teo. |
6 | Garment workers wanted to double the wages they were receiving, but the government only allowed an increase of 15 to 20 dollars. | Notadiavin'ireo mpiasan'ny fanaovana akanjo ireo ampitomboana avy roa heny ny karama fandrain'izy ireo, saingy fitomboana 15 ka hatramin'ny 20 dolara ihany no nomen'ny governemanta. |
7 | The strike mobilized tens of thousands of workers across the country, but it was violently dispersed by state forces in January, which resulted in the death of five workers. | Nahahetsika mpiasa an'aliny nanerana ny firenena ny fitokonana, saingy noravan'ny herim-panjakana tamin'ny fomba mahery vaika izany tamin'ny volana jolay, ka niafara tamin'ny fahafatesan'ny mpiasa miisa dimy. |
8 | The current monthly minimum wage received by Cambodian garment workers is pegged at 100 dollars. | Mihazohazo eo amin'ny 100 dolara eo ny karama farany ambany indrindra isam-bolana raisin'ny Kambojiana mpiasan'ny fanaovana akanjo amin'izao fotoana izao. |
9 | Export earnings of the garment sector represent about a third of the country's 15.25-billion-dollar GDP last year. | Mahasahana ny ampahatelon'ny harin-karena anatin'ny firenena mitentina 15,25 miliara dolara ny vola azo tamin'ny fanondranana ny entan'ny sehatr'asan'ny fanaovana akanjo tamin'ny herintaona. |
10 | There are more than 600,000 garment workers in Cambodia, and the majority of them are female. | Mihoatra ny 600.000 ny isan'ny mpiasan'ny fanaovana akanjo ao Kambodza ka vehivavy ny ankamaroan'izy ireo. |
11 | But aside from receiving low wages, workers also suffer from poor working conditions, which often result in mass fainting incidents in various sweatshop factories. | Saingy ankoatra ny hakelin'ny karama, dia miaritra faharatsian'ny fepetran'ny asa ihany koa ny mpiasa, izay miafara amin'ny fahatoranana faobe any amin'ireo orinasa isan-karazany fanaovana akanjo any. |
12 | This week, garment workers have revived the campaign for a wage increase, but this time they directed their appeal to the global clothing brands that buy and sub-contract supply from Cambodia. | Tamin'ity herinandro ity, namelona indray ny fanentanana hampakarana ny karama ny mpiasan'ny fanaovana akanjo, saingy tany amin'ireo orinasa marorantsana mpanao akanjo miantoka asa (manao “sous-traitance”) sy ireo orinasa manatontosa ny asa ao Kambodza no ivantanan'ny fitakiana. |
13 | The campaign, dubbed as “The buyer must provide basic wages $177”, is aimed at pressuring global brands such as H&M, Walmart, Levi's, Gap Puma, C&A, Adidas and Zara to directly negotiate a higher wage for workers with their suppliers. | Ny fanentanana, manana ny anarana hoe “Tsy maintsy manome karama fototra 177 dolara ny mpividy”, dia nokendrena hanerena ireo marika malaza manerantany tahaka ny H&M, Walmart, Levi's, Gap Puma, C&A, Adidas ary ny Zara mba hifampiraharaha mivantana amin'ireo mpiasa amin'ny fampakarana ny karama. |

15 | - CNV Internationaal (@CNV_Internat) September 17, 2014 More than 500 garment workers gathered at Canadia Industrial Park in Phnom Penh, the country's capital, to press for higher wages. | Mihoatra ny 500 ny isan'ny mpiasan'ny fanaovana akanjo nivory tao amin'ny faritra indostrialy Canadia ao Phnom Penh, renivohi-pirenena, mitaky ny fampakarana ny karama. |
16 | According to garment unions, about 300 factories across the country have joined the protest. | Arrak any nolazain'ny sendikan'ny fanaovana akanjo, orinasa 300 manerana ny firenena no nahitana mpandray anjara tamin'ny fitokonana. |

18 | Union leaders explained that the 177-dollar minimum wage demand is based on the average monthly spending of garment workers. | Nanazava ny mpitarika sendikany fa ilay 177 dolara notinaky dia mifototra amin'ny fandaniana ankapobeny isam-bolana ataon'ny mpiasan'ny fanaovana akanjo. |
19 | One of the workers who participated in the rally echoed the sentiment of her fellow workers to English-language newspaper The Cambodia Daily: | Nanome akony ny fihetseham-pon'ny mpiasa namany tao amin'ny gazety mivoaka amin'ny teny anglisy The Cambodia Daily ny mpiasa iray nandray anjara tamin'ny fihetsiketsehana : |
20 | We want a higher wage because today we don't have enough money to support ourselves because everything is very expensive, like rent, electricity, water and food. | Mitaky karama ambonimbony kokoa izahay satria tsy ampy hivelomanay ny vola azonay satria lafo dia lafo avokoa ny zava-drehetra, toy ny hofan-trano, ny jiro, ny rano ary ny sakafo. |

23 | The Community Legal Education Center, a local human rights group, is supporting the campaign as it urged the brands and their suppliers “to meet their responsibility and ensure human dignity for their Cambodian workers.” | Manohana ny fanentanana ny Community Legal Education Center, vondrona iray mpandala ny zon'olombelona iray ao an-toerana, satria mandrisika ireo marika (lehibe) sy ireo mpamongadiny “hiatrika ny andraikiny sy hiantoka ny fahamendrehana maha-olombelona ireo Kambojiana miasa ao aminy.” |
24 | The government responded by deploying police and army units in the protest site. | Novalian'ny governemanta tamin'ny fandefasana vondrona polisy sy tafika tao amin'ny toerana nanaovana ny fihetsiketsehana izany. |
25 | Meanwhile, the opposition assured workers that they will bring the wage campaign inside the parliament. | Mandritra izany fotoana izany dia manome toky ny mpanohitra fa hitondra ny fanentanana momba ny karama ao amin'ny parlemanta. |

27 | - Luc Forsyth (@LucForsyth) September 17, 2014 The wage increase campaign is supported by labor unions in many countries. | Tohanan'ny sendika maro any amin'ny firenen-tsamihafa ny fitakiana fampakarana ny karama. |
28 | In Canada, there is an online petition urging consumers not to buy clothes “tainted with exploitation and repression.” | Ao Canada, misy ny fanangona-tsonia an-tserasera mandrisika ny mpanjifa tsy hividy akanjo “misolitiky ny fanandevozana sy ny fangejana.” |
29 | Hopefully, the planned series of protests will remain peaceful and the government will respect the right of workers to demand better living and working conditions. | Antenaina mbola hizotra ao anatin'ny fandriampahalemana hatrany ireo andiam-pihetsiketsehana efa nokinasa ary hanaja ny zon'ny mpiasa hitaky fari-piainana sy fepetran'ny asa tsara kokoa ny governemanta. |
30 | It is also important for global clothing brands to prove their commitment to improve the welfare of workers in Cambodia's garment factories. | Tsara ho an'ireo marika fanta-daza manerantany ihany koa ny manaporofo ny fanatontosana ny adidy hanatsara ny fahasalaman'ny mpiasa any amin'ny orinasa fanaovan-damba ao Kambodza. |
