Cover Story

An Uncertain Future

The people who work in our garment factories, most of whom are women, have to work in the most hostile of environments. Women workers are paid much less than their male counterparts doing the same work and are sometimes over burdened with extra work, with little or no overtime. They work in congested, unsafe and unhealthy conditions. Such is the harsh reality that every garment worker has to wake up to each and every morning.
