There's a difference between sweatshops and slavery.
Remember, working in a sweatshop is a CHOICE!
These individuals CHOOSE to work in these sweatshops.
Try doing a video on WHY they CHOOSE to work in these places, and I guarantee all of you out there screaming BOYCOTT! BOYCOTT! won't be so quick to speak anymore.
(Fun Fact: the average wage of a sweatshop worker is most times higher than that of the average wage of the country itself; ergo better quality of life)
I think we should boycott sweatshops and use fair trade. In this way, we tell companies we won't stand for sweatshops while still supporting jobs. Fair Trade is not a company, but it certifies companies; it means the workers get fair pay. Some fair trade companies continue work overseas (such as Fair Indigo), others give work here in America (such as American Apparel).
Here's a video that says we shouldn't boycott sweatshops (I think we should boycott but dont think my view is professional):
Sry, I can't manage to post the video. However, there's a great guide that I definitely recommend reading. Google, "coop america's guide to ending sweatshops"
My god... :( This is depressing. 19 hours a day, think about that... NO sick days, and something makes me doubt that they get a lunch break. 19 hours!! Geeze, when do they sleep??? People overlook this, but what if this was YOU?

There's something else that children have to offer: their bodies. At least sweatshop labour won't give them aids.
