“And, as if it weren’t heartbreaking enough that child labour in fashion still exist, it’s been rising, too. It declined by 30% between 2000 and 2012, but then the number of children in child labour rose by 8.4 million (reaching 160 million worldwide) within 4 years”

Both of these quotes are shedding light on how the fast fashion industry is continuously growing. It mentions how the world is evolving for the worse and the children are the ones taking the fall of it all.

“The causes for the growth of child labor are not difficult to discover, and can be briefly indicated. Improved machinery and minute subdivision of labor has rendered their labor as effective as that of adults, though they will invariably accept lower wages for it”

“At least 29.8 millions of people are kept in modern slavery conditions: sometimes, when the adults in a family can’t survive on their wages alone, they feel like they have no other choice than to bring their children into slave labour in fashion”

“Evidently, the victims of child labor are in a more critical situation and are more likely to suffer violence, which destroys their dignity and inclines them to demonstrate anti-social behaviors”

These quotes are both displaying how families in poverty do not have the funds to support themselves resulting in sending their children into these horrific and dangerous labor conditions. The adults can't fend for themselves so they send their children to help work for the family.

”Child labor involves children performing work that is inappropriate for their age and abilities, leaving them susceptible to physical, mental, and sexual violence. This violence can cause severe physical and psychological harm, stripping these children of their human dignity”

These quotes connect by showing that children in the fast fashion industry undergo extreme mental and physically abuse without even giving them anything in return to try and escape this modern slavery. No substantial money income is given to them to try and help them escape this prison they are in. Leaving them stranded with so successful set up to kick start their lives.
