When Sour Socheat settles in for the night under a tent in Takhmao City, she knows she will not sleep.
On the three or four nights per week that she guards the entrance of the shuttered factory where she used to work, Socheat says she and the other unemployed garment workers on watch are disturbed by animals, drug users and gangsters.
