MDG 1: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger (Russian)

Eradicating extreme hunger and poverty is a key focus of the Millennium Development goals set in 2000 by world leaders at the United Nations. Secure employment is critical to overcome poverty, yet worldwide 60 percent of people are working without a formal contract or social security protection. The majority of them are women and too often their labour rights are exploited. But one idea showing promise can be found in the homes of women in Cambodia. We travelled to Phnom Penn to see how the rights of home-based women workers are being protected, providing them with a ladder out of severe poverty.
