Resumo: This thesis examines whether fashion brands can implement gender equality in Cambodia’s garment industry, based on the Better Work program managed by the UN’s ILO and funded by the IFC. Through qualitative research, consultations with Cambodia’s garment industry experts revealed opportunities and threats to integrate gender equality. Strengths and weaknesses of Better Work's partnership with brands on gender equality were established via interviews. The resultant SWOT analysis proves that brands can incorporate gender equality in Cambodia’s garment industry by jointly incorporating Better Work’s gender equality strategies and responsible compliance approaches which have a sustainable impact on Cambodia’s workforce’s integration process.
