Mistreated Textile Workers

Have you ever wondered where your clothes come from?
What costs people have to make for them?
The pain and loss people go through just so we can clothe ourselves?
People all throughout the world are forced to work for clothing factories where they only get paid 1/5 of the minimal living wage. The living wage gives enough money to pay for clothing, food, rent, healthcare, education, transportation, and give them savings. It has been discovered that many people are only paid $1 to make a dress for Kmart. How much do we pay for a dress or a piece of clothing from Kmart? About $5! A woman in Belfast (capital of Northern Ireland) found this note in a pair of trousers she bought at Primark (retail company) along with an identity card of a prisoner.
“SOS! SOS! SOS! We are prisoners at Xiangnan jail in Hubei, China. For a long time, we have been producing clothing for export. We work for 15 hours each day. What we eat is even worse than food for pigs and dogs. The work we do is similar to (the hard work) that oxen and horses do. We urge the international community to denounce China for this inhumane act”
