Child Labour is very common in subcontractor factories, children would work for 60 hours per week starting from 7am. Usually you'd think they're getting paid a considerable amount, but children only get 70p per hour.]]> 2017-01-04 19:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145359506 aya_blog https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145360954 Factory workers are continuously exposed to harmful chemicals with no health and safety regulation being applied. Refugees state that they do not get provided any masks or protection against the terrible conditions, low wages are a major issue. Adults usually get paid a little more than a £1 an hour.]]> 2017-01-04 19:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145360954 aya_blog https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145362517 Working conditions in Turkish factories, highlight their lack of health and safety towards their workers. Close ups of children working in factories, showing their lack of strength and will due to long working hours. Raising awareness on the inconvenience of using random audit searches and how it could be improved in order to keep illegal activity away from big brands supply chain. Giving advice on how to over come those issues and move forward in terms of preventing child labour and improving the work conditions for adult refugees.]]> 2017-01-04 19:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145362517 aya_blog https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145365788 This documentary made me very grateful for the condition I live in and what I am given. Seeing children from as young as 7 working to earn a living just to be able to feed their family and themselves is eye opening and heart breaking. On top of that the treatment they are given is appalling being treated as a "piece of cloth" as on refugee explained to BBC is just unacceptable. 
However what surprised me most is that companies that preach about their sustainable supply chain such as Marks& Spencer's don't even know what's happening behind their garment production. Refugees working illegally, receiving their pay in cash with no official employment documents. Also, well known  brands such as ASOS and NEXT producing their garments in 'Hazar' factories that hold the most amount of child workers with low wages. Then claiming the factory is not certified by the company and its cause of subcontractors. This is all so eye opening.]]> 2017-01-04 19:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145365788 aya_blog https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145370083 Seeing what's behind such loved and adored companies changed my perspective on the company. In the future I will look out more on how garments are produced and where they are produced, making sure I don't buy anything that is made in turkey or other third world war countries that are known for child labour and awful working conditions. instead donate to charities and refugee camps, in order for children to have the right for education, keeping them away from having the need to work to live.]]> 2017-01-04 19:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145370083 aya_blog https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145371535 There are many ways to raise awareness these days, communication has become very easy using social media platforms to showcase their views on any topic you could think of. Exposing these brands on social media showing the lack of attention they give their factory workers in order to get cheap labour with high quality products. Highlighting what actions they have taken to address the issue and what they haven't done in order to stay triue to their ethical values. Adverts and campaing videos should be published in high capacity areas such as malls and tourist attraction. On social media, organisations can be reached to raise more awareness building a big support base that could blow up the topicand raise awareness on child labour and cruelty.]]> 2017-01-04 19:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145371535 aya_blog https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145374144 ASOS after seeing the documentary have decided to provide funding to the children that worked for them in order to help them go to school and proceed education.]]> 2017-01-04 20:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145374144 aya_blog https://padlet.com/aya_blog/bqnnxzcw57ch/wish/145375854 Thousands of children are forced to work in order to live.
