Report titled "Garment Workers in India's Lockdown: Semi-starvation and de-humanization lead to mass exodus" released by Society for Labour & Development
India: Garment exporters, abandoned by the brands and with no support from central and state governments, in turn, abandoned their workers. Workers reported conditions of semi-starvation. They were also de-humanized, treated as bonded labour, denied means of travel and, some, even restrained from traveling. This has led to an unprecedented collective bargaining by exodus.
