Over 4 million people in Bangladesh work in the garment industry, the majority of them women.

Living Wage = Human Right In November 2012 French campaigners took to the streets to call for all garment workers to be paid a living wage Across Europe alternative price tags were distributed throughout stores to raise awareness of the poverty wages received by the people making the clothes In October 2012 activists in Sweden staged a mass fainting in protest at the poverty wages being paid to workers in Cambodia Workers outside E-garment factory in Cambodia call for an increase in the minimum wage

What can you do?

Join our call to action and sign our petition calling for all garment workers to earn a living wage. I want the women and men who stitch my clothes to earn enough to feed their family, pay their rent and live a decent life. A living wage is a human right, for all people all over the world. I say it's time to pay a living wage to all garment workers.
