Land Grab by Phnom Penh Sugar Company, Kampong Speu, Cambodia | Ejatlas 8/15/20, 2:18 AM 'Blood sugar' land grab by Phnom Penh Sugar Company, Kampong Speu, Cambodia | EJAtlas 8/15/20, 2:18 AM 'Blood sugar' land grab by Phnom Penh Sugar Company, Kampong Speu, Cambodia Leaflet (https://leafletjs.com) | © OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright) contributors Description: Encouraged by Cambodia’s policy to establish large-scale agriculture under the Economic Land Concessions (ELC) scheme, and incentivized by the European agreement “Everything but Arms” (EBA) with least developed countries, Cambodia attracted large amounts of investment into sugar production, allowing the country to export their products at a !xed minimum price and without tari"s to the European Union. Investments attracted in this context, caused some of the most depressing land grab con#icts in Cambodia. Among them are the evictions surrounding Phnom Penh Sugar Co. Ltd.’s sugarcane plantations for the production of what some called “blood sugar” (1;5;7). In February 2010, Phnom Penh Sugar Company (PPSC), owned by ruling party senator and business tycoon Ly Yong Phat, was granted an ELC covering 8,343ha in Thpong district, Kamping Speu district. Another ELC amounting to 9,052ha, located in Omlaing commune, Oral district, was granted to the sister company Kampong Speu Sugar Company (KSSC), owned by his wife Kim Hean. On March 21, Prime Minister Hun Sen further signed a sub-decree to classify 4,700ha in the Oral Wildlife Protected Area as an extension of the concession land granted to KSSC. Both companies, which are closely associated and further belong to the same family, control now more than 23,000ha of ELC land, while the legal limit per ELC is set to 10,000ha (2). The procedure and impacts of establishing the sugarcane plantation have been devastating for the local population. Concessions were granted without prior consultation or environmental or social impact assessments. Formally recognized community forests, orchards, farming and residential of around 1500 families from 21 villages located in Thpong and Aoral district was seized and bulldozed backed up by military presence. Villagers were evicted and resettled in areas with lack of adequate infrastructure and productive land and without proper compensation (see project details). Facing food insecurity and a drastic loss of livelihood, villagers were forced to start working on the sugarcane plantation. Low salary required to take children out of school to send also them to work on the plantation as child labour. Working conditions have been dramatically harsh and dangerous; several workers have been killed so far by cane-cutting machines (2). Also the environmental impacts are devastating, including dumping of waste into community streams, which has provoked !sh dying, and sickness of villagers and their livestock (2). The evictions were resisted by all kinds of mechanisms, ranging from protests, over small-scale arson and throwing stones on company equipment, to highway barricades (1). Several villagers who protested have been facing lawsuits and trials or have been arbitrarily arrested. Uprising was further largely repressed since the beginning, through police and military presence. In fact, KSSC employed the former Khmer Rouge Batallion 313 as private army to intimidate villagers, to force them to accept completely inappropriate compensations and to protect the concessions land. (2). In January 2014, social and environmental impact assessments leaked to Inclusive Development International (IDI) and Equitable Cambodia, two national NGOs supporting the case, revealing that the supposed ethical banking group ANZ has !nanced the project with several “tens of millions of dollar” (3), in spite of completely dismissed social and environmental recommendations of the assessment report, which some moreover described as a “whitewash report”, as it did not mention the forced evictions associated to the plantations (2). On behalf of 681 families that were forcibly displaced and dispossessed, IDI and Equitable Cambodia !led on October 6, 2014 a formal OECD complaint against ANZ for !nancing this devastating land grab (2). Impacts mentioned in the report include the military-backed up forced evictions, violation of human rights, arbitrary arrests and widespread use of child labor (4). Finally, also the EU started to revise its EBA policy and to assess its adverse e"ects (5).

Lease agreements are commonly set for 70 years (see legal ELC framework, below). The total concession areas are 8,343ha for Phnom Penh Sugar Company Ltd.; 9,052ha for Kampong Speu Sugar Company Ltd., plus an extension of 4,700ha located within the Oral Wildlife Protected Area. The total amount of land under concessions is 22,095ha (1;2). Around 2,000ha of farmers land have been encroached by PPSC (7). A “disturbance compensation” of 25$ per household was o"ered for the resettlement. Farmers with irrigated rice plots were o"ered a compensation of 100$/plot (1). A total of around 1500 families from 21 villages has been reported to be a"ected (3). Based on average household size, this corresponds to roughly 7,000 persons. Villagers who protested, lost their job, were !led or even arbitrarily arrested. Currently around 38 villagers face criminal charges (3). Phnom Penh Sugar Company states to have invested more than 200,000,000$ into the sugar processing facility (6).

  • Exploring Sexual Coercion Within Marriage in Rural Cambodia
    Exploring Sexual Coercion within Marriage in Rural Cambodia Rany Saing Primary Supervisor: Dr. Panteá Farvid Secondary Supervisor: Professor Jane Koziol-McLain A Thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (Psychology) Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences 19 June 2017 1 Abstract Sexual coercion within marriage includes any acts from forcing or attempting to force a spouse to engage in sexual behavior against his or her will. This can be through violence, threats, verbal insistence, deception, cultural expectation, or economic circumstance. Married women in Cambodia, particularly in rural areas, are bound strongly with the traditional gender norms and women’s code of conduct (Chbab Srey). Chbab Srey requires the women to do household chores, stay at home, strongly respect their husbands, highly value their husband, and keep any spousal argument secret. This norm also requires women to be submissive in sexual matters. The present study aimed to explore sexual coercion within heterosexual marriage in Aoral and Thpong districts in Kampong Speu, Cambodia. This exploratory qualitative study conducted in-depth interviews with 11 married women, aged 19 to 47, about their view and experience of marriage, their sexual lives within marriage, and experience of coercive sex within marriage. The research was thematically analyzed and eight themes were identified. The results showed that there was strong connection between traditional gender norms and women’s coercive victimization within marriage in Cambodia. As a result of their coercive sexual experiences, the women experienced a lack of bodily autonomy and sexual desire. Participants who have experienced mild sexual coercion such as verbal coercion, psychological coercion or arousal coercion, are not able to acknowledge it as a problem because coercive sex was too tightly bound with traditional gender norms.

Their contributions are sincerely appreciated and grateful acknowledged. However, The Department of Hazardous Substance Management, would like to express its deep appreciation and indebtedness particularly to following: His Excellency Say Samal, Minister of Environment, His Excellency Heng Nareth, Director General for Environmental Protection for their kind support in the preparation of this report and the implementation of Mercury Initial Assessment project United Nations for Environment Programme, Division of Technology, Industry and Economics, The International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) for providing financial and technical support for implementation of Mercury Initial Assessment project which this report is part of. Executive Summary In October 2013, Cambodia endorsed the notification of signatory of Minamata Implementation Plan for the UNEP Global Mercury, currently under implementation process. This plan is an indication of a new effort by Cambodia to provide additional guidance in the form of specific goals, objectives and actions for the sound management of mercury. In the Kingdom of Cambodia, the use of hazardous substances, especially the mercury substances are not normally managed in an environmentally sound manner and there is no specific government institution responsible for mercury management. Therefore, management of mercury and mercury-containing wastes in Cambodia is a collaboration of various ministries within a government.
