CTU's celebration of International Women's Day



The Confederation of Trade Unions (CTU) – consisting of the Free Trade Union of Workers in the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTUWKC) and the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA) – led by Mr. Rong Chhun, its president, organized the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the International Women’s Day in the morning of 08 March 2011. The celebration started at 07:30AM and ended at 02:00PM at the New World Restaurant, located in Srah Chork commune, Daun Penh district, Phnom Penh. The event was attended by 450 participants, including Mrs. Mu Sochua, the guest of honor, and Mrs. Phuong Viphou, the representative of the UK Embassy in Phnom Penh.

The event included a discussion of rights and the screening of the movie “Who Killed Chea Vichea” for the attending workers, teachers and foreign guests. However, the authority prevented the screening of the movie by ordering the restaurant owner to shut down electricity. Following the negotiations, electricity was restored and the event continued until its conclusion. However, the screening of the movie was canceled.
