[PDF] "Young Dalit women exploited in Indian garment industry"

The new report is a follow-up on the 2011 report ‘Captured by Cotton’, that first documented the exploitative conditions in the Tamil Nadu garment industry. In reaction to this report, European and American clothing brands and retailers promised to curb labour abuses and in some instances also took concrete steps to do so. Now, one year later, SOMO and ICN look at what has been achieved...‘Maid in India’ features case studies of Eastman Exports, KPR Mill, SSM India, and Bannari Amman, four large Tamil Nadu based garment manufacturers that produce for Western brands.
