Fashion conscience.

We all love a bargain? But do you ever think at how these companies manage to sell their clothing at such low prices and ask yourself where a garment was made, by whom and under what conditions?

Once again this week we see Tesco, Asda and Primark all faced with allegations that Bangladesh workers are being forced to work up to 80 hours per week and refused access to trade unions.

The charity ‘War on Want’ has uncovered that workers regularly work for as little as 5p an hour, in unsafe and poor working conditions making clothing for British high street shops.

There are many organisations, such as ‘Labour Behind the Label’, ‘War on Want’ and ‘Clean up Fashion’ fighting hard to raise awareness of such facts as an 18 year old woman who was earning only £22 per month.
