A short documentary about activists and change-makers fighting for a living wage for garment industry workers.
Most workers said that they were more scared of starving than they were of COVID. Thulsi Naraynasamy, Business & Human Rights Researcher
This is a short story about the activists and change-makers fighting against the poverty faced by garment industry workers.
It is centred on the fact that the statutory minimum wage in the largest garment producing countries comes nowhere close to a living wage.
Workers live in destitution due to ongoing corporate greed and exploitation.
We all need these jobs, but we want them with dignity. But dignity does not come until we have a living wage. Kalpona Akter, Labour Union Activist
