The clothes on your back: Factory kids – Blog

The corporation should be forced to cut the children’s work hours down to 4 hours a day, given free education for another 6 hours, food, clothing, health benefits and every weekend off.

I want to know what brands these kids are making these clothes for. It’s not enough to show us a video like this without giving us some more information so we can actually do something.

The garments being made in this video do not look like garments sold in the US. Not to downplay the condition.

This is why we should only purchase items made in industrialized nations. Places that have child labor laws and other practices that protect workers.

If the consumer stops buying these products, to the extent that the factories do not need the children, what happens to those children?  How do they live?  What will they eat?  How do we make their lives better by taking away their way to survive?  I ask these questions because I really want to know, how can we make their lives better, and not put them at greater risk?
Fair Trade Certified
Yet another sad example of the need to shift practices in the apparel industry. While we have a long way to go before things like human rights, safety and transparency are factors in making and buying a t-shirt, it’s good to know that sustainable options are on the rise.   Fair Trade Certified apparel is a great alternative to the traditional sweatshop model, and directly combats child labor in factories. To earn certification, factories must comply with rigorous social and environmental standards, have direct grievance procedures, be transparent, and empower employees to have a voice in the workplace. Some great brands like prAna, Patagonia, and Oliberte (shoes) are driving this momentum, offering shoppers the opportunity to wear their values.

If we want to protest this. We need to stop buying fast fashion. Shop locally made more expensive quality clothing.

Torn on this. We give money to their economy. They wouldn’t have opportunities without these factories, so keep buying. They need better working conditions, education, a childhood, etc. Don’t buy.
