GARMENTS

Some 4 million Bangladeshi work in one of 5000 factories producing clothes, mostly for western brands. Local health and safety laws are difficult to enforce and internationally funded inspection teams find it hard to monitor the network of fabric makers, dyeing services and stitching workshops, all located in regions with poor infrastructure.

Peter McAllister, Executive Director of Ethical Trading has said that probably the best guide to conditions is price ‘If something is very cheap you have to ask yourself is it really possible to make it in a factory that is run properly, with a living wage. ‘
