Human Rights Watch research found that prospective migrant workers are typically locked inside these training centers, usually for three to six months before their departure. Trainees often do not have access to adequate health care, food, and water inside the center. Some women and girls experience verbal, psycho - logical, and sometimes physical abuse. © 2011 Jyotsna Poudyal/Human Rights Watch “THEY DECEIVED US AT EVERY STEP” Abuse of Cambodian Domestic Workers Migrating to Malaysia A woman shows a picture of her relative who has not contacted her family since she migrated to Malaysia in September 2009. She said her relative wanted to be a domestic worker in Malaysia to earn enough money to build a house for her family in Cambodia. © 2011 Jyotsna Poudyal/Human Rights Watch A broker said that the company is looking for women to work in Malaysia. When I asked if there is anyone who will help my daughter if she is in trouble, the broker said that if something happens to the girl, if she dies for example, the company would pay the compensation….He said, “You can rest all your life with that money.” Nhean, father of Champel, a 21-year-old domestic worker who died in the Phnom Penh training center of VC Manpower, Cambodia, April 2011 When 16-year-old Nhon Yanna migrated to Malaysia from Cambodia as a domestic worker in 2010, all she had hoped was to earn some money to take care of her five younger siblings, an ailing mother, and an elderly grandmother. A broker promised a job that would be easy and pay her US$3,000 over two years. But things quickly soured after she signed a contract with a recruitment agency, which immediately confined Yanna to a training center in Phnom Penh for three months, and denied contact with her family. After she reached Malaysia, her employer gave her work that would have taken several people to complete. I woke up at 4 a.m.,

    CAMBODIA 2040 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Edited by DETH SOK UDOM BRADLEY J. MURG OU VIRAK MICHAEL RENFREW Acknowledgements Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the support of Future Forum’s partners at the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the Open Society Foundation. The editors would also like to thank those who have supported the discussion and development of this project throughout the last year including: Nick Beresford, Tassilo Brinzer, David Chandler, CHEA Sophak, CHHORN Chhayyuth, Joseph Curtin, EANG Bunthan, HAK Mao, HENG Sougech, Robert Hör, KEO Piseth, KHOUN Theara, LIMSOK Chanlina, Richard Marshall, Duncan McCargo, Bridget McIntosh, Marcus Mohlin, PAK Kimchoeun, Daniel Schmücking, Camile Tijamo, and Tineke Waters. Finally, we would like to extend our appreciation to ING Phousera (Séra), for his creative vision and talent in creating the accompanying illustrations, and Dani Gill, for her expertise formatting the volume. i The Organizations The Organizations Future Forum Founded by Ou Virak in late 2015, Future Forum is an independent think tank that focuses on research, analysis, and public policy, representing a dynamic response to an identified “policy gap” in Cambodia. While there are various civil society actors in Cambodia engaged with a wide variety of issues, Future Forum takes a broader view and adopts a more measured, analytical and considered approach that identifies underlying trends and employs rigorous research, and creative and principled policy recommendations to help shape Cambodia’s policy discourse. Rather than simply identifying problems, Future Forum adopts a solution- oriented approach, and uses its research to equip key decision-makers with detailed, specific, constructive policy solutions to Cambodia’s issues.

SELF-MEDICATION AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL SYSTEM IN CAMBODIA Eve Bureau-Point, Carine Baxerres and Sena Chheang Abstract Based on an ethnographic study of the Cambodian pharmaceutical system conducted in an urban and a rural setting between January 2015 and June 2016, we report on the complex dynamics surrounding the issue of self-medication in that country. We describe the history of the circulation of pharmaceuticals in Cambodia, and we discuss the contemporary relationship individuals have with these medicines and with those who distribute them. We illustrate the specific dynamics of the pharmaceuticalization of Cambodian society, where private drug vendors are playing a key role. Keywords: Cambodia, autonomy, pharmaceutical system, self-medication.
