Before this project, I had no idea of something called "sweatshops". Of course I knew that there were people out their being exploited but i hadn't known that it was this bad. Sweatshops have been in existence for a very long time and are most common in poor countries like Thailand and China but they occur all around the globe. What is sad, is that these people are not allowed to join any trade unions which leaves them with no hope to escape the bad conditions and exploitation.
When researching sweatshops, I had found that many clothing companies use sweatshops but that,Gap and Nike were the main perpetrators. It is sad that these companies make so much money but still don't pay their workers a fair wage and that they are also abusing children. Children shouldn't have to be working and this is where we got our slogan from:"Do it our way.Let our children play"
This project has turned out to be quite informative.
