Farida response

[Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Farida to respond to concerns raised in a Stop Child Labour report about its efforts to address child labour.] HIVOS had alleged in their report that Farida’s supply chain has links with Sub contractors who engage Child labour. We strongly deny the allegations linking Farida with existence of “Child labour in the footwear industry”...We explained to HIVOS that the allegations against us are incorrect and substantiated our stand based on Documents obtained from the Government authorities. We have proved the inconsistency and incorrectness of the HIVOS’investigation by providing the below facts and proofs...[See details in document]...Farida being a socially responsible organization, has in place necessary systems and checks to comply with legal requirements on Prevention of child labour.
