"She has a husband and a kid, and her elderly parents live next door. She takes care of them too, so working as a homebased worker is good. Since she has a small kid, she can't go outside and work…You can choose what job you take when they come to your street with the materials. She chooses this work to earn more." Kamalam, homeworker, India.
Homeworkers are fashion's hidden workforce. With no minimum wage, no guarantee of work, no maternity pay, no pensions – their working conditions and pay are some of the worst in the industry.
Clothing companies rely on the hard work of people like Kamalam - we need them to take action to ensure that these vital workers have these essential rights.
Homeworkers in India are campaigning for formal rights and benefits, like pensions, maternity leave, and sick pay.
