When you are online shopping for good deals on clothing or looking in the shops for cheap offers it seems great, like a good deal. It’s not.
Do you ever wonder who makes your clothes? Or do you just push that guilt to the back of your mind so you can get that new fit?
If you are guilty of using fast fashion in the past due to not being educated in the sector, you can change now. If you continue to purchase from places like ‘Oh Polly, Boohoo, Shein, Zaful’ and so many more, knowing the conditions their workers are in, you are part of the problem.
Slavery is still ongoing it is just covered up more effectively to the western world so we can fund these types of businesses.
Workers are exploited doing overtime to just earn enough to live off without actually being paid for overtime. They work every day in awful conditions, afraid to take days off from losing their job.
They are in unsafe working conditions with no fresh air and breathing in toxic fumes. They are treated inappropriately, abused and taken advantage of. This is not just adults, children too. Sound familiar yet?
