The Coalition to Abolish Modern-day Slavery in Asia (CAMSA) today launches a global campaign to press Sony and its labor supplier Joint Resources (JR) Holdings to fully compensate 15 Vietnamese workers, all women, for financial, physical and emotional damages.
Recruited from rural Vietnam to work for Sony plants in Malaysia, these women have not been paid for six months, and some have had to sell their bodies in exchange for food.
