Sweatshops are often characterized by low wages, long hours, and poor working conditions. Workers may be subjected to physical and verbal abuse, and may be denied basic labor rights, including the right to organize and the right to fair wages.

The impact of sweatshops on workers is significant, including the loss of health and well-being, as well as the loss of opportunities for education and social mobility.

Greater protection of workers in the global garment industry is essential for addressing the human cost of sweatshops. This includes measures such as improved monitoring and reporting of labor violations, increased support for worker empowerment and advocacy, and greater accountability for companies that use sweatshop labor.

The international community must work together to address the issue of sweatshops, by promoting greater protection of workers in the global garment industry and supporting efforts to promote ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices.
