In Asia, beer manufacturers often hire women aged 18-30 to sell their products in bars and restaurants. There are about 4,000-5,000 of them in Cambodia, paid an average of $81 a month, working in precarious conditions, subject to sexual harassment, rape and alcohol abuse. NGOs and the local media regularly sound the alarm. The situation of the approximately 600 "beer developers" Carlsberg employs in the country has also been the center of several journalistic reports in Denmark. Observers say this is the group's last unsolved ethical issue at global level. The partnership agreement between Carlsberg and LO, signed last week and aiming to improve these women's conditions, covers social dialogue between management and union representatives and the right to assemble and bargain collectively in the sector and in the country.
