Human Rights Now, an international human rights NGO based in Tokyo, and Action Labor Rights, a coalition of labour rights organisations in Myanmar, reported on alleged violations of labour rights in garment factories in Myanmar, including excessive overtime, withholding of wages, and unsafe working environments. These factories were suppliers for the Japanese apparel companies Mikihouse Trade and Lecien (a subsidary of Wacoal). Both Mikihouse and Wacoal subsequently conducted investigations and collaborated the NGOs' findings. The two companies have each promised remedial action.
