100% Sweat Shop Free

We Believe In Human Beings

We believe that human and civil rights are being violated in sweatshops. We believe that workers should be earning a living wage, in a safe and decent working environment. We believe that those who benefit the most from the exploitation of sweatshop workers must be held accountable.

The anti-sweatshop movement has become a strong advocate in recent years for workers around the world. Purchasing sweatshop free product supports the growth of companies who maintain fair labor standards for its workers here and abroad, and contributes to a more just and equitable global society.

Why Do Companies Use Child Labor?

Many believe that companies hire children because they are less likely to complain about poor working conditions. Child labor is often a symptom of poverty and lack of education. If adult workers do not earn enough wages to meet their basic needs, if they cannot afford child care, or if they have no schools to send their children to, they may be forced to send their children to work.

Many child laborers are in exploitative conditions with low wages, long working hours, no medical or welfare facilities, no proper meals or accommodations, no permanent employment status, exposed to dangerous working environments with few educational opportunities. Some children are working under bonded and slave-like conditions, harmful to physical, emotional growth and development. Even those who find jobs in favorable working conditions are outside the social safety nets of family, school, trade union, employment or welfare laws. These conditions are unacceptable for children.
