00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:56.000
it

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:08.600
Tamil Nadu South India

00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:13.600
There are over a thousand textile mills here.

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.200
They employ more than a hundred thousand girls and young

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:20.400
women.

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.300
The cotton textiles they produce become the clothes

00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:27.800
we wear.

00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:34.100
But their lives are very tough.

00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:57.300
the bell pepper

00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:03.900
the milk gave her parents 10,000 rupees. That's

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:05.500
about 140 US dollars.

00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:09.100
She now has to work to pay off the advance.

00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:25.600
Gallery United

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:39.600
Acceptable and kill you.

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.400
What girls like kalavati go

00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.600
through and has been called modern slavery?

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:19.700
This is the story of someone who is trying to stop it.

00:03:22.700 --> 00:03:24.800
His name is Joseph Raj.

00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:28.600
He is the head of an NGO called test of

00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:30.300
good morning. Good morning.

00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:35.200
Joe has rescued children who work in

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:36.900
fireworks factories and the textile mills.

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:41.200
And he trains teenage girls who have gotten out.

00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:48.000
Within the factory premises. Okay, everyone are

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.000
available.

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:52.900
Four years. He was stay she stayed in the middle. And now

00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:55.500
she is studying here some like

00:03:55.500 --> 00:03:58.300
calavati went to the Mills to help their families. Get

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:01.300
out of debt. They promised a lump sum for their marriage

00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:02.100
after three years.

00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:04.200
But they often don't get it.

00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:08.400
And three years means you how to work for Thousand Days.

00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:12.800
If you are not completing 1000 days, you will not give that

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.200
lump sum.

00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:17.500
Human should write to live as

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:18.600
a dignified life.

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.600
This is not a dignified life.

00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:23.600
This is a slave life.

00:04:29.500 --> 00:04:32.400
Joe sometimes goes on raids to rescue

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:33.600
girls trapped in the Mills.

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:37.300
He's trying to get permission from the authorities to go on another raid.

00:04:40.900 --> 00:04:43.400
But today he's going to a village where some

00:04:43.400 --> 00:04:44.000
of the girls come from.

00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:52.100
India lives

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:52.700
in The Villages

00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:56.500
agriculture is a basic thing in India.

00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:08.100
If I am the play.

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:19.600
Okay here.

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.100
please

00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:57.700
Annotated it. Okay.

00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:26.400
The deal that the textile mills use to get the girls to work

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:28.800
for them is called the sumangali scheme.

00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:30.600
Good.

00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.500
Healthy married woman

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:35.100
is called.

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:37.100
sumangali

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.600
So to get married, they need money giving Dowry

00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:45.300
another one is for marriage

00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:45.800
expenses.

00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.000
So they need money for marriage.

00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:54.300
Giving the diary a wedding gift to the husband's family

00:06:54.300 --> 00:06:56.800
is illegal, but it happens all the time.

00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:02.200
To earn it the girls work, maybe 12 hours a day in

00:07:02.200 --> 00:07:03.200
lousy conditions.

00:07:04.100 --> 00:07:07.200
most of them sleep in crowded hostels inside the Mills

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.400
even if they do last three years they may

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:11.400
get cheated out of the money.

00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:15.200
This is like a prison they cannot get away from the

00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:18.800
factory. And if they are sick, they they

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.800
are not able to get leave nothing. They

00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.300
have no such kind

00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:26.900
of freedom of movement to outside.

00:07:32.100 --> 00:07:33.100
that I

00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:41.100
Couldn't blow under the other one.

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:46.000
here

00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:11.300
People here work in agriculture for very

00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:11.600
little money.

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:27.200
You so the

00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:28.900
villages send their daughters to the mill.

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.200
But the wages often don't turn out to be what was

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:32.500
promised.

00:08:33.400 --> 00:08:34.300
Yeah, well you

00:08:42.300 --> 00:08:43.200
but that I

00:08:49.400 --> 00:08:49.800
okay, okay.

00:08:52.900 --> 00:08:55.400
Thank you. Thank you.

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:59.500
received a

00:08:59.500 --> 00:09:01.200
call from that Project Director that

00:09:03.300 --> 00:09:06.400
raid which is planned on 28th is confirmed.

00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:09.800
Two days. Yeah 28.

00:09:10.300 --> 00:09:12.200
both the fireworks and textile mills

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:16.400
Does it ever happen that the word gets out or

00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:16.600
somebody?

00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:19.100
somebody tips off

00:09:19.900 --> 00:09:21.000
Factory owner

00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:24.800
Yeah, previously. What what does

00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:28.100
cap happened? They you for

00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:30.900
their plan for a raid some

00:09:30.900 --> 00:09:33.400
of this news Lake out

00:09:33.400 --> 00:09:34.700
and this that will be

00:09:37.300 --> 00:09:40.500
Informed to the factory owners, so that that

00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:42.000
people will be alert.

00:09:43.400 --> 00:09:44.500
Maybe the driver.

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:47.300
Repeat the driver.

00:09:49.300 --> 00:09:52.500
Maybe the messenger who

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:55.200
takes the file from one office to

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:55.400
another.

00:09:58.200 --> 00:09:59.900
factories

00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:01.500
that is the

00:10:02.300 --> 00:10:02.600
show

00:10:18.900 --> 00:10:21.400
I have to getting out of the Mills girls come to

00:10:21.400 --> 00:10:24.400
the NGO test and get training for better work.

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:29.300
here you

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:56.700
and nobody can connect.

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:06.000
That's almost.

00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:19.100
you

00:11:19.900 --> 00:11:22.000
the cotton dust is called the White Cloud.

00:11:22.900 --> 00:11:25.400
It is known to cause lung disease among children and

00:11:25.400 --> 00:11:25.900
other workers.

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:33.300
here

00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:37.500
of today

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:48.600
daily news

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.300
and I think that I

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:21.300
just

00:13:03.800 --> 00:13:06.200
and it was still and none of

00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:07.800
them said he

00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:49.400
nursing

00:13:53.400 --> 00:13:53.900
Nothing nothing.

00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:13.700
here

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.500
I'm telling you.

00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:44.400
Most girls from the Mills don't get a chance to study like

00:14:44.400 --> 00:14:45.100
these young women.

00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:49.500
This is mushumi, Basu.

00:14:50.300 --> 00:14:53.600
She studies labor and development in India at narrow University

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:54.600
in Delhi.

00:14:56.400 --> 00:15:00.000
The government came up with the scheme called sumangli scheme

00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:03.800
way back in 1989 and

00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:05.900
it's quite

00:15:05.900 --> 00:15:08.400
a strange scheme in the sense that

00:15:08.400 --> 00:15:11.900
it seeks to prepare the girl

00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:14.300
that you know, you come and work for three

00:15:14.300 --> 00:15:17.100
years and at the end of the year at the end of

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:20.800
that three period you would have accumulated enough

00:15:20.800 --> 00:15:23.700
money in from your wages to

00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:25.500
be able to pay for your dowry.

00:15:26.400 --> 00:15:29.400
And I think that tells us

00:15:29.400 --> 00:15:32.500
a lot about how women are

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:33.400
perceived.

00:15:37.400 --> 00:15:39.900
another form of bonded labor

00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.900
How can you call you know

00:15:44.900 --> 00:15:47.400
people keep them in camps keep

00:15:47.400 --> 00:15:50.700
them in hostels and not pay them their

00:15:50.700 --> 00:15:52.900
regular wages on a monthly basis.

00:15:55.400 --> 00:15:58.100
But the girls really get minimum wage. So how do they get away with

00:15:58.100 --> 00:15:58.300
that?

00:15:58.900 --> 00:16:01.400
Penalties for not paying a minimum

00:16:01.400 --> 00:16:04.100
wages. The penalty is still fixed

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:07.200
at rupees 500 even today. How much

00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.700
is 500 rupees would work out to about

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:12.800
seven dollars?

00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:18.900
And all this is resulted in stock inequalities

00:16:17.900 --> 00:16:20.400
staring you

00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:23.500
in the face. This is what life has

00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:27.600
become. I mean the Forbes 2018 report.

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:31.000
There are 118 billionaires

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.700
from India.

00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:37.200
And many have gotten Rich from

00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:37.900
the Garment business.

00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:40.700
in India and elsewhere

00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:51.000
the whole world is wealthier.

00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:53.700
But it's still very unequal.

00:16:57.700 --> 00:16:59.600
This is Professor Neil Howard.

00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:04.300
What we have seen over the course of the last 30 years of neoliberal globalization

00:17:03.300 --> 00:17:06.300
is a massive increase in wealth

00:17:06.300 --> 00:17:09.100
at the very top of the tree, you know, oxfam's famous

00:17:09.100 --> 00:17:12.100
yearly inequality report which comes out at the time of

00:17:12.100 --> 00:17:15.300
Davos shows a decreasing number of Rich old white men

00:17:15.300 --> 00:17:18.400
owning as much as the bottom half of humanity, right. This

00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.300
is a direct consequence of the policies of neoliberalism, which

00:17:21.300 --> 00:17:24.300
are fostered inequality. The global garment business

00:17:24.300 --> 00:17:27.200
is worth about two trillion dollars, and it's always

00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:27.600
growing

00:17:29.800 --> 00:17:32.800
most of our garments contain

00:17:32.800 --> 00:17:33.200
cotton

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:41.900
hundreds of millions of people work with cotton

00:17:48.600 --> 00:17:51.400
Its history is tied up with slavery like in

00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:52.200
the US South.

00:17:55.100 --> 00:17:57.400
and cotton fed the Industrial Revolution

00:17:58.900 --> 00:18:02.000
As early industry which often used child labor was

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.700
built on making clothes out of cotton picked by

00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:05.200
slaves.

00:18:09.800 --> 00:18:12.200
Chattel slavery where a human can be

00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.800
bought and sold as property is now rare and

00:18:15.800 --> 00:18:16.800
it's illegal everywhere.

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:20.500
But other forms of modern slavery like bonded labor

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:21.900
are still common.

00:18:23.900 --> 00:18:26.300
This is Carrie Summers. She's the

00:18:26.300 --> 00:18:29.500
founder of NGO fashion Revolution the global fashion

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:32.500
industry remains one of the drive of modern

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:35.600
day slavery. We know that there's about 40 million

00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:38.800
people who are trapped in modern day slavery and

00:18:38.800 --> 00:18:41.300
about 70p% of these will

00:18:41.300 --> 00:18:41.800
be women.

00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:46.300
It's almost impossible to know where the cotton in our

00:18:46.300 --> 00:18:48.900
clothes comes from and so abuse gets hidden.

00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.000
Pakistan

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:59.800
where cotton is often picked by bonded labor people who

00:18:59.800 --> 00:19:02.500
try to pay off debt to their bosses, but they

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:02.800
often can't

00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.800
and those bosses are often abusive.

00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:15.600
This is the manager of a cotton family would.

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:19.200
Monthly basis. There was a mean that there was a

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.400
midarmers you around, okay?

00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:22.200
my name is

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:52.800
you must

00:19:55.800 --> 00:20:00.400
actually not

00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:00.500
here.

00:20:01.100 --> 00:20:04.000
Yeah, man that I just

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:11.400
and then there's child labor.

00:20:12.800 --> 00:20:15.600
The Iowa estimates that around 170 million

00:20:15.600 --> 00:20:19.100
people are involved in child

00:20:18.100 --> 00:20:21.300
labor around the world throughout fashion

00:20:21.300 --> 00:20:24.300
Supply chains, and actually a lot of

00:20:24.300 --> 00:20:27.500
jobs in the in the Garment industry in the

00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:30.200
fashion Supply chains. Oh don't buy

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.700
children because they're more dexterous in the hands more suited this

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:34.900
sort of work.

00:20:37.800 --> 00:20:40.800
The labor cost in the typical item

00:20:40.800 --> 00:20:43.500
of clothing is between about one and four

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:43.700
percent.

00:20:45.300 --> 00:20:48.300
Or that 29 Euro t-shirt. It was

00:20:48.300 --> 00:20:51.800
estimated that for the worker to receive a living wage that the

00:20:51.800 --> 00:20:55.000
labor costs would have to increase from 18 cents

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:57.900
to 45 cents and

00:20:57.900 --> 00:21:00.500
the overall increase on the retail price

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:03.800
of the Garment with the markup including

00:21:03.800 --> 00:21:06.900
the tax would be one Euro 57

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:09.500
on a 29 Euro t-shirt.

00:21:13.700 --> 00:21:16.400
There's a really huge body of evidence that

00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.400
shows that consumers are willing to

00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.000
change the way in which they they shop if

00:21:22.700 --> 00:21:26.200
they're faced with the right information and

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:28.000
the right impetus.

00:21:29.300 --> 00:21:32.700
This is Michael Posner. He was present Obama's

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:36.200
assistant Secretary of State for human rights. There

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:38.500
are some egregious practices, which a number

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:41.900
of companies have identified forced labor

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:44.600
trafficking child labor. Those

00:21:44.600 --> 00:21:47.400
things are clearly outrageous. They

00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:50.000
need to stop but they're not the only problems.

00:21:50.800 --> 00:21:53.300
Lots of factories have safety issues

00:21:53.300 --> 00:21:56.500
fires the people

00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:59.800
who work on the line are women. The supervisors

00:21:59.800 --> 00:22:02.700
are men. There's a pattern of harassment

00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:05.800
and discrimination which needs to be addressed. And

00:22:05.800 --> 00:22:08.300
so we've got to move the discussion to a

00:22:08.300 --> 00:22:11.500
discussion about what's the responsibility of

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:14.700
the brands and as consumers investors. We

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:17.500
need to be putting pressure on Brands and evaluating them

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:20.200
against another so the better Brands get

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:23.400
credit for what they're doing and the worst brands are

00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.200
heard are heard commercially.

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:29.500
But the brands often don't know or don't let themselves know

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:30.300
about abuse.

00:22:32.800 --> 00:22:34.300
Sometimes the work is Rebel.

00:22:38.300 --> 00:22:41.000
But in the Garment business unions often get

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:41.500
crushed.

00:22:50.100 --> 00:22:53.500
And the bad safety standards in poor countries mean terrible

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:56.000
accidents sometimes happen like the collapse of

00:22:56.700 --> 00:22:58.600
Rana Plaza and Bangladesh in 2013.

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:01.100
Which killed over 1,100 people?

00:23:04.800 --> 00:23:07.200
Or an accident that India just one boy.

00:23:08.600 --> 00:23:10.100
Rajasthan India

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:16.300
so that's

00:23:16.300 --> 00:23:16.600
how

00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:21.800
this

00:23:23.300 --> 00:23:24.100
year

00:23:32.100 --> 00:23:32.900
Are you?

00:23:45.300 --> 00:23:52.900
Ready here.

00:24:13.100 --> 00:24:18.500
the super impossibility as super

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.000
art veget

00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:27.700
a

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.900
conver

00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:33.900
ter

00:24:39.900 --> 00:24:42.200
and then go here.

00:24:45.900 --> 00:24:46.900
I'm not.

00:24:49.300 --> 00:24:51.300
say

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:52.700
to see

00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:56.600
here

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.200
If you are very poor an injury illness or

00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:27.800
death of a family Breadwinner can mean you either starve or

00:25:27.800 --> 00:25:29.900
fall into some form of modern slavery.

00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:34.200
In India the falling ill of an individual or that

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.300
for someone within a household are proximate causes of

00:25:37.300 --> 00:25:40.400
people ending up in bonded or other forms of servile labor.

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.200
So the provision of health health insurance and widespread health

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:46.500
coverage is an obvious way

00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:49.600
to Stave off this proximate pathway

00:25:49.600 --> 00:25:52.000
into unfree or exploitative forms of

00:25:52.300 --> 00:25:55.500
work, basically the provision of universal social protection.

00:25:56.700 --> 00:25:59.900
The conservatives would say that that costs

00:25:59.900 --> 00:26:02.000
an enormous amount of money and we can't afford it. I mean sure

00:26:02.300 --> 00:26:02.800
so to missiles.

00:26:03.900 --> 00:26:06.200
Yes, it costs a lot of money and I recognize that

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:09.400
people are concerned ultimately about balancing the books how we balance

00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:12.200
the books of political choices. If we are spending our money on guns and

00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.300
tanks. We are not spending our money on hospitals and schools. It's a simple choice we

00:26:15.300 --> 00:26:15.600
face.

00:26:19.100 --> 00:26:21.000
the textile business needs cheap labor

00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.300
in South India. It is pulling workers from other Industries.

00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:27.100
like fireworks

00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:30.800
India loves fireworks

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:59.000
this town in Tamil Nadu is a big

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:00.500
Center for making fireworks.

00:27:01.300 --> 00:27:04.200
The factories are dangerous places to work there are

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:05.600
fires and explosions.

00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:09.000
And they used to be notorious for using child labor.

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.400
Activists like Joe Raj have improved things

00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:24.500
some since the 90s.

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.200
There have been raids and crackdowns.

00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:31.500
The attention of internationally agencies to or the

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:35.500
child labor and match and fireworks Industries slowly slowly.

00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:37.400
They are reducing the

00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.300
two arrays these

00:27:40.300 --> 00:27:43.200
black mark of children working in match and

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:46.600
fireworks Industries slowly. They are leaving the

00:27:46.600 --> 00:27:50.300
children from this from these industries.

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:54.500
here you

00:28:01.300 --> 00:28:04.100
this is a special school for kids who have gotten out of

00:28:04.100 --> 00:28:05.200
the fireworks factors.

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:07.700
They're playing their favorite sport.

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:09.200
kabadi

00:28:20.800 --> 00:28:23.400
Some of the kids still work in the Factory's part-time.

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:25.900
This is Ganesh.

00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:33.000
He

00:28:35.900 --> 00:28:42.000
must cry.

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:10.400
more time

00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:45.700
here you

00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:22.600
that I

00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:27.000
just

00:30:39.800 --> 00:30:42.700
the fireworks business is shrinking with Chinese competition.

00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:45.300
But the textile business is growing.

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.700
These Workforce these Workforce slowly

00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:55.400
diverted to this textile Industries

00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:57.200
textile. And by the time

00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.800
due to globalization textile Industries having

00:31:00.800 --> 00:31:03.600
a boom to receive orders from

00:31:03.600 --> 00:31:06.600
outside abroad. So in order

00:31:06.600 --> 00:31:09.700
to meet the hardest orders, they need

00:31:09.700 --> 00:31:12.700
Workforce. This Workforce will

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:15.400
join the textile Industries.

00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:24.200
The raids Joe plans of both cotton and

00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:25.300
fireworks factories.

00:31:30.100 --> 00:31:32.300
and party

00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:38.500
Saturday

00:32:01.300 --> 00:32:02.600
and here

00:32:09.800 --> 00:32:15.800
again

00:32:31.600 --> 00:32:35.800
learn about how good

00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:40.800
What he?

00:33:08.100 --> 00:33:11.500
Karapusami is another Tamil Nadu activist like

00:33:11.500 --> 00:33:14.400
Joe who helps girls like calavati.

00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:17.600
They can't come outside like a big jail.

00:33:19.100 --> 00:33:22.400
And also there are several death happened inside the factory.

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:27.100
96 young girls that death happened in

00:33:26.100 --> 00:33:30.200
suicide some more things with their with

00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:32.800
their cloth hanging that

00:33:32.800 --> 00:33:35.500
like this Delta happening. We don't

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:38.300
know where exactly why they did but something

00:33:38.300 --> 00:33:41.900
happened therefore they're hiding the supplies

00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:44.400
hiding this death incidents.

00:33:46.300 --> 00:33:48.400
Some of these deaths were mysterious.

00:33:49.100 --> 00:33:52.000
Some may have been sexually abused. We don't know.

00:33:53.100 --> 00:33:55.400
Neither do the companies who buy the textiles?

00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:59.700
What I am asking the brand what I'm

00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:02.100
asking the brands did you went to Village?

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.700
You do had any interview or discussion

00:34:06.700 --> 00:34:10.000
interaction in the village meet

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:12.500
them next workers go and

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:15.800
meet them personally you ask them. What are

00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:18.500
the problems you faced in the factory? They will

00:34:18.500 --> 00:34:19.200
say is very clearly.

00:34:24.700 --> 00:34:27.200
Farming was always a tough way

00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:28.200
to make a living here.

00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:30.800
But now the world is getting hotter.

00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:34.200
And this is brought drought to Tamil Nadu.

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:41.600
Farmers are protesting to ask for help from the government.

00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.400
They brought the skulls of other farmers who have committed

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:46.000
suicide.

00:34:58.700 --> 00:35:01.200
Llama, I'm very pretty modern,

00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:02.100
you know guys.

00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:09.200
Welcome.

00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:27.300
here today

00:35:57.100 --> 00:35:59.100
His family makes a living. However, they can.

00:36:00.300 --> 00:36:01.500
Like trading with a peddler.

00:36:06.700 --> 00:36:07.200
well

00:36:13.700 --> 00:36:15.200
be here.

00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:27.800
tomorrow

00:36:39.600 --> 00:36:41.000
if you

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.200
offered some money

00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:57.600
but the family didn't want charity.

00:36:59.500 --> 00:37:02.900
There's a man in the village who acts as a broker or trafficker

00:37:02.900 --> 00:37:04.500
paid to get girls into the Mills.

00:37:05.500 --> 00:37:08.500
Joe tries to call this broker, but he seems to be avoiding us.

00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:17.500
Families those who are having more number

00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:18.500
of girls in turn.

00:37:19.700 --> 00:37:22.300
Then the families who

00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:23.000
are in debt.

00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:27.000
These are all the targets for the brokers.

00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:31.600
Then they had they show they will tell at residents.

00:37:31.600 --> 00:37:34.700
They are looking like five star hotels. If you

00:37:34.700 --> 00:37:37.500
want to entertain they will have a TV room.

00:37:37.500 --> 00:37:41.100
If you want to swim there is

00:37:40.100 --> 00:37:44.100
assuming pool this kind of the photos.

00:37:43.100 --> 00:37:46.600
They have this kind of things. Will

00:37:46.600 --> 00:37:49.200
they will convince the parents is it

00:37:49.200 --> 00:37:52.400
is any of this true the swimming pool the computer

00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:55.800
rooms. Is it true or is it a lie? It's like

00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:58.500
it's like that is no place no place but

00:37:58.500 --> 00:38:00.400
they're showing like that.

00:38:14.600 --> 00:38:18.300
There is labor legislation in India health safety

00:38:17.300 --> 00:38:20.300
a minimum wage of five or six

00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:20.800
dollars a day.

00:38:21.700 --> 00:38:22.300
But there's a problem.

00:38:24.200 --> 00:38:28.500
At a macro level you have about 93% of

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:31.800
the Indian Workforce being

00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:34.100
employed in the unorganized sector,

00:38:33.100 --> 00:38:36.300
which means that there is

00:38:36.300 --> 00:38:39.300
a very small minority that is

00:38:39.300 --> 00:38:42.200
actually located in the

00:38:42.200 --> 00:38:46.500
organized sector where labor laws are invoke.

00:38:45.500 --> 00:38:49.100
The rest of the workforce is

00:38:48.100 --> 00:38:51.500
not covered by labor laws.

00:38:52.300 --> 00:38:55.500
This is Usha ramanathan a legal scholar in

00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:58.200
Delhi. Actually labor legislation has been a problem for

00:38:58.200 --> 00:39:01.300
a long time in India generally has a problem not just in

00:39:01.300 --> 00:39:04.500
labor laws, but in many other places where our

00:39:04.500 --> 00:39:06.300
regulatory systems are not all that great.

00:39:06.900 --> 00:39:09.200
A hardly function at all. So if there is

00:39:09.200 --> 00:39:09.500
no

00:39:10.300 --> 00:39:13.300
debtor these practices then obviously you're

00:39:13.300 --> 00:39:15.000
going to have a continuance of the practice.

00:39:16.700 --> 00:39:19.200
We must remember too that these are places where there's very little

00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:20.000
unionization.

00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:24.300
So if you don't unionize and you don't have a regulatory agency

00:39:24.300 --> 00:39:27.400
that does the work that it's supposed to do and they don't actually believe that

00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.700
it can be done. And therefore what's the point obviously that

00:39:30.700 --> 00:39:32.100
situation is not going to change.

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:36.500
A problem is not what we have in the law. The problem is how seriously do

00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:39.000
you take the law and believe that it should be

00:39:39.700 --> 00:39:42.400
enforced. It's a lot easier to pass a lower than it is to enforce the

00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.500
law and there are plenty of researchers who would

00:39:45.500 --> 00:39:49.000
make the case plenty of Labor activists who would make the case that governments around

00:39:48.100 --> 00:39:51.200
the world are passing the laws that make them

00:39:51.200 --> 00:39:54.400
look good in the way that big corporates are

00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:57.700
putting in place codes of conduct that make them look like ethical Traders

00:39:57.700 --> 00:40:00.300
all while knowing that actually in practice. There

00:40:00.300 --> 00:40:03.400
is no chance of this stuff being enforced those laws

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:06.200
go are important, but they

00:40:06.200 --> 00:40:07.000
only go so far.

00:40:07.700 --> 00:40:10.200
And our experience with them is that a lot

00:40:10.200 --> 00:40:13.200
of companies simply decide not to report. There's

00:40:13.200 --> 00:40:16.500
not much consequence. If they don't all of this depends

00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:20.600
on us. It depends on citizens consumers

00:40:19.600 --> 00:40:22.300
saying these things

00:40:22.300 --> 00:40:23.400
matter to us.

00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:45.200
We got married in the year 1996.

00:40:46.500 --> 00:40:47.800
22 years

00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:50.800
you

00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:59.700
yes, there are two types of marriages one is

00:40:59.700 --> 00:41:02.100
love marriage. Another one is

00:41:02.100 --> 00:41:02.700
arranged marriage.

00:41:03.500 --> 00:41:04.900
We have arranged marriage.

00:41:06.300 --> 00:41:07.800
After marriage, we love each other.

00:41:09.500 --> 00:41:12.900
We love each other my Hindu Hindu.

00:41:13.600 --> 00:41:15.900
Hindu Hindu same belongs to Hindu religious

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:18.900
He's Christianity.

00:41:20.100 --> 00:41:24.600
Had he saw job is very Noble cast.

00:41:25.100 --> 00:41:25.800
He's working.

00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:27.500
devoted

00:41:28.100 --> 00:41:29.200
so I like very much.

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:30.300
Yes.

00:41:33.200 --> 00:41:36.700
I belongs to Roman Catholic Christian Roman Catholic. I

00:41:36.700 --> 00:41:40.000
respect my parents and they

00:41:39.200 --> 00:41:42.200
are giving Rich values to

00:41:42.200 --> 00:41:42.500
us.

00:41:43.500 --> 00:41:45.700
And they are the strength for us.

00:41:46.500 --> 00:41:50.200
Every morning I get blessings from them then I

00:41:49.200 --> 00:41:51.500
start my work.

00:41:52.500 --> 00:41:55.300
This this is my father. This is my

00:41:55.300 --> 00:41:55.500
mother.

00:41:58.200 --> 00:41:58.500
Yeah.

00:41:59.700 --> 00:42:01.700
So this is our prayer room.

00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:05.400
Morning, we come here and we

00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:07.400
sit and meditate.

00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:11.800
Very few minutes. This will give you energy for

00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:12.800
us to do the work.

00:42:14.500 --> 00:42:16.900
So what originally inspired you to do your work?

00:42:18.200 --> 00:42:21.200
That is a new thing in the

00:42:21.200 --> 00:42:24.800
church. That is a Liberation theology.

00:42:26.200 --> 00:42:29.900
That Liberation theology makes me to think

00:42:29.900 --> 00:42:33.300
of people not in the worshiping

00:42:32.300 --> 00:42:35.700
God is not a thing serving. The

00:42:35.700 --> 00:42:38.400
people is the mission That's The

00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:40.400
Liberation challenge that I perceived.

00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:48.200
Joe has come to the main government office for the district.

00:42:49.100 --> 00:42:52.400
To do the final planning for the raids tomorrow morning?

00:43:10.600 --> 00:43:12.700
The government's focus is child labor.

00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:17.000
But Joe's also worried about the wider abuse in this amongoli

00:43:16.600 --> 00:43:19.300
schemeanor against through the

00:43:19.300 --> 00:43:22.400
industry. We support the support. Our people that

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:26.400
is a basically enjoyed against

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:30.000
the industries, but that should be a proper

00:43:29.300 --> 00:43:31.200
ethics and models.

00:43:34.200 --> 00:43:35.600
know you

00:43:42.200 --> 00:43:50.600
you

00:44:02.600 --> 00:44:05.100
the owners do they ever

00:44:05.100 --> 00:44:08.700
go to prison? Okay to jail.

00:44:08.700 --> 00:44:09.500
No.

00:44:10.200 --> 00:44:11.000
our energy

00:44:18.300 --> 00:44:19.200
here

00:44:23.300 --> 00:44:29.900
at least

00:44:29.900 --> 00:44:33.000
added the generation on the officials at

00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:34.500
least Society.

00:44:39.100 --> 00:44:42.100
The meeting ends with finalizing plans for the raid tomorrow.

00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:45.100
This is a district headquarters. This is

00:44:45.100 --> 00:44:48.100
really Bluetooth though officials are holding back

00:44:48.100 --> 00:44:50.200
the details from Joe and his colleague.

00:44:57.200 --> 00:44:58.000
The Raid is on

00:44:59.200 --> 00:45:02.300
there are lots of government officials and playing close police.

00:45:03.300 --> 00:45:05.600
Only Joe and his assistant aren't from the government.

00:45:11.600 --> 00:45:14.700
The raids begin on fireworks factories where there's

00:45:14.700 --> 00:45:17.900
been a history of child labor and dangerous conditions. This

00:45:17.900 --> 00:45:20.700
is the procedure last-minute only

00:45:20.700 --> 00:45:22.200
we know where we are going.

00:45:23.200 --> 00:45:27.000
Okay, the we don't know which Factory

00:45:26.300 --> 00:45:27.400
we are going.

00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:31.100
fireworks

00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:32.300
back in

00:45:33.100 --> 00:45:33.600
more places

00:45:34.300 --> 00:45:38.500
so that if any accidents happens that

00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:40.100
will not affect the Village People.

00:45:41.200 --> 00:45:44.400
Or also because they if something happens nobody will

00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:47.700
ever come to know about it. That is one thing another thing is but

00:45:47.700 --> 00:45:49.700
that is hidden agenda.

00:45:56.900 --> 00:45:59.100
If they will they have a

00:45:59.100 --> 00:46:03.500
back door, then they will send immediately by

00:46:02.500 --> 00:46:06.700
the back door very places

00:46:05.700 --> 00:46:09.600
like bathroom this kind

00:46:09.600 --> 00:46:10.000
of things.

00:46:26.700 --> 00:46:28.200
Our filming is being restricted.

00:46:29.200 --> 00:46:30.300
So we hide our camera.

00:46:44.200 --> 00:46:46.600
No kids are found in the fireworks factories.

00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:48.300
Are there none?

00:46:49.700 --> 00:46:50.100
Were they in hiding?

00:46:50.700 --> 00:46:51.400
We don't know.

00:46:53.200 --> 00:46:56.000
They make a stop filming. Love you.

00:47:13.700 --> 00:47:15.100
someone's face

00:47:16.300 --> 00:47:17.800
discreet

00:47:19.300 --> 00:47:19.800
is the one

00:47:24.200 --> 00:47:26.700
The team moves into a major textile mill.

00:47:40.700 --> 00:47:41.100
you

00:47:42.600 --> 00:47:45.900
afraid of having such cameras

00:48:02.600 --> 00:48:05.600
The young female employees are found and ordered

00:48:05.600 --> 00:48:05.900
outside.

00:48:21.100 --> 00:48:22.800
40

00:48:25.600 --> 00:48:28.900
We managed to film inside the dormitories before

00:48:28.900 --> 00:48:29.900
being stopped.

00:48:31.500 --> 00:48:32.500
They are pretty grim.

00:48:47.600 --> 00:48:50.300
And of course, we don't find the TV room.

00:48:51.200 --> 00:48:52.100
Or the swimming pool.

00:49:06.100 --> 00:49:08.800
Just one or two girls have found who are underage.

00:49:09.900 --> 00:49:12.200
Is it possible the factory owners were worn?

00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:21.300
Then our cameras areas by playing clouds police.

00:49:22.300 --> 00:49:26.400
videos, please

00:49:36.200 --> 00:49:39.500
And Joe sees a mill manager warning the other Mills that the

00:49:39.500 --> 00:49:40.300
inspectors are coming.

00:49:41.700 --> 00:49:44.700
Now yes alerting for that Mill owners

00:49:44.700 --> 00:49:47.900
will get bright to the that spice.

00:49:48.900 --> 00:49:51.100
They plan to raid more Mills, but they

00:49:51.100 --> 00:49:51.400
don't.

00:49:52.300 --> 00:49:53.500
Is this because we are there?

00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:57.700
And we over here an official who is angry at Joe says he

00:49:57.700 --> 00:50:00.000
shouldn't be allowed on these Factory visits anymore.

00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:04.400
All this male owners

00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:08.100
and the factory owners are very much Nexus with

00:50:07.100 --> 00:50:10.800
the politicians some of the present may

00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:12.300
get bribe.

00:50:12.900 --> 00:50:15.500
It's usual thing here if that

00:50:15.500 --> 00:50:17.400
everybody is accepted the ingestis.

00:50:18.300 --> 00:50:21.000
It's usual to get bribes here this

00:50:22.100 --> 00:50:24.000
Has anyone ever tried to bribe you?

00:50:25.100 --> 00:50:29.200
No, not it. Everybody knows that I am in principle

00:50:28.200 --> 00:50:31.400
and I'm my they know

00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:34.800
the value of my mind. So nobody will come

00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:37.400
and come and approach us.

00:50:40.200 --> 00:50:43.800
But the issue that Joe cares about all the exploitation in

00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:46.200
the sumonguli scheme seems to have been

00:50:46.200 --> 00:50:47.200
ignored in the raid.

00:50:47.900 --> 00:50:50.700
Which was focused only on just making sure there

00:50:50.700 --> 00:50:52.200
were no actual children working.

00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:57.300
Ultimately, we are rescuing particular categories

00:50:56.300 --> 00:50:59.600
of individual that the funders

00:50:59.600 --> 00:51:02.100
determine as worthy of being saved. Typically. This will

00:51:02.100 --> 00:51:05.400
be children because as I say children hold this huge symbolic fact

00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:08.500
value, so there is a there is a there is

00:51:08.500 --> 00:51:11.800
a contradiction ultimately here between rescuing certain

00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:14.600
kinds of individuals and in the process covering

00:51:14.600 --> 00:51:17.600
over the entire system, which ensures that everybody else is basically suffering

00:51:17.600 --> 00:51:18.900
the same kinds of exploitation.

00:51:21.300 --> 00:51:23.400
Joe has a new plan.

00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:27.500
Every few months there are meetings of all the people in a

00:51:27.500 --> 00:51:29.100
district called a grammar, Saba.

00:51:29.900 --> 00:51:32.300
Joe wants to go to one of these meetings and persuade them

00:51:32.300 --> 00:51:35.900
to ban the sumonguli scheme drama survived

00:51:35.900 --> 00:51:39.000
a grassroak level democrating meeting

00:51:38.900 --> 00:51:41.600
where the village issues are

00:51:41.600 --> 00:51:44.600
discussed here itself. This paper should

00:51:44.600 --> 00:51:47.600
speak out. What are the personal cons?

00:51:47.600 --> 00:51:50.600
What are really effects of these children working

00:51:50.600 --> 00:51:53.600
in the middle as a slaves as as

00:51:53.600 --> 00:51:54.900
in the cage?

00:51:56.400 --> 00:51:58.600
This has to be discussed tomorrow.

00:52:00.500 --> 00:52:04.400
All children should be enrolled in the schools. That's

00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:05.600
the environment campaign.

00:52:07.600 --> 00:52:10.900
That the evil practice of this mongoli

00:52:10.900 --> 00:52:13.600
scheme should be stopped in

00:52:13.600 --> 00:52:15.000
The Villages.

00:52:15.600 --> 00:52:19.000
Do you think you'll succeed? Yes. Sure. Sure. We make

00:52:18.600 --> 00:52:20.800
we make the ground already.

00:52:28.600 --> 00:52:31.300
Joe is visiting Vidya the girl who

00:52:31.300 --> 00:52:34.600
wept describing her time at the Mill before she came to Joe's

00:52:34.600 --> 00:52:34.800
NGO.

00:52:36.100 --> 00:52:38.800
She still has breathing problems and when she worked in the factory.

00:52:41.900 --> 00:52:44.700
Or no more alarmed and

00:52:44.700 --> 00:52:46.700
the play alone the Messiah.

00:52:47.600 --> 00:52:55.500
A proponent that I really a

00:52:51.500 --> 00:52:55.900
treatment

00:52:55.900 --> 00:52:56.900
at the prayer every year.

00:52:58.600 --> 00:53:02.400
It no still on earlier

00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:02.800
convention.

00:53:03.900 --> 00:53:04.000
here

00:53:31.100 --> 00:53:32.500
Yeah, I know another day.

00:53:38.500 --> 00:53:45.700
here tomorrow

00:54:07.200 --> 00:54:10.700
Primary Joe has an idea for videos

00:54:10.700 --> 00:54:11.200
treatment.

00:54:14.500 --> 00:54:17.500
The application everybody.

00:54:43.600 --> 00:54:45.300
Video is making a living.

00:54:46.300 --> 00:54:49.300
But when a raid rescues a girl she will lose her income

00:54:49.300 --> 00:54:51.700
which might have been essential for their family.

00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:57.300
But there's an immediate problem like the girl that

00:54:57.300 --> 00:55:01.100
you rescued from The Raid her income stops,

00:55:00.100 --> 00:55:01.900
right?

00:55:02.700 --> 00:55:05.300
So her family suffered a

00:55:05.300 --> 00:55:08.600
lot will suffer which which they are. They

00:55:08.600 --> 00:55:11.100
are expecting her salary to for feed the

00:55:11.100 --> 00:55:11.600
families.

00:55:13.200 --> 00:55:16.200
We have a vocational training centers here

00:55:16.200 --> 00:55:19.800
different skills one is computer. Another is

00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:22.700
tailoring. Another one is beautician. So

00:55:22.700 --> 00:55:25.400
at that time we convince the parents

00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:29.000
this training period take three

00:55:28.300 --> 00:55:32.100
months to six months. Then this loss

00:55:31.100 --> 00:55:34.700
of income will be compensated with higher

00:55:34.700 --> 00:55:35.100
income.

00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:39.700
That kind of convincing mechanisms that

00:55:39.700 --> 00:55:42.500
they have put for put with the families.

00:55:43.500 --> 00:55:44.100
are

00:55:46.200 --> 00:55:46.500
here

00:56:17.200 --> 00:56:20.600
Joe has come back to this Village to

00:56:20.600 --> 00:56:21.700
visit Ganesh.

00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:25.300
He's a little boy you went to work in fireworks because his father was

00:56:25.300 --> 00:56:26.000
drinking a lot.

00:56:26.700 --> 00:56:28.400
He's gotten out of the factory now.

00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:41.500
For any mother mother here.

00:56:44.900 --> 00:56:57.300
It is from here.

00:57:18.300 --> 00:57:21.300
parallel removal

00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:30.600
and you

00:57:40.900 --> 00:57:41.200
I I

00:57:49.100 --> 00:57:51.700
here you

00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:22.500
Yeah.

00:58:23.500 --> 00:58:30.800
That's right. Okay, right.

00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:32.600
You don't really?

00:58:42.200 --> 00:58:47.000
understand

00:59:17.300 --> 00:59:24.100
here continue

01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:06.400
Most of the labor

01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:09.800
abuses, of course go unnoticed by the clothing brand owners

01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:12.900
far away at the top of the continent textile

01:00:12.900 --> 01:00:13.500
supply chain.

01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:19.900
Those who are operating up here. The top tier folks aren't

01:00:19.900 --> 01:00:22.200
necessarily aware and perhaps aren't interested in

01:00:22.200 --> 01:00:25.400
being aware of what's happening at the bottom tears of

01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:28.700
their supply chains. The reality is that the systems at

01:00:28.700 --> 01:00:31.800
the head of which they sit are such that they don't

01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:34.000
really know what's going on down here or they don't

01:00:34.200 --> 01:00:37.200
have direct feedback mechanisms that tell them what's happening down here

01:00:37.200 --> 01:00:38.500
and that's obviously a problem.

01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:43.300
Karapassami's team in Tamil Nadu is

01:00:43.300 --> 01:00:46.000
now using a new way for girls and women in the

01:00:46.500 --> 01:00:48.400
Garment industry to get their voices heard.

01:00:49.100 --> 01:00:50.500
perhaps by the brand owners

01:01:03.500 --> 01:01:06.400
Canadian company called alula has set up a way

01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:09.200
via a cell phone for them to answer questions about their

01:01:09.200 --> 01:01:10.000
work conditions.

01:01:13.100 --> 01:01:18.400
Good news, please.

01:01:21.500 --> 01:01:22.800
It's completely anonymous.

01:01:23.300 --> 01:01:25.100
And it may help expose abuses.

01:01:34.900 --> 01:01:36.400
now when the number called

01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:51.700
here companies

01:02:24.100 --> 01:02:25.400
and we'll hear

01:02:27.200 --> 01:02:30.100
right at the end of the day we get help from the

01:02:30.100 --> 01:02:33.600
older man in the village to track down the broker. He's the

01:02:33.600 --> 01:02:35.600
man who arranges for girls to go to the Mills.

01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:37.200
Yeah.

01:02:44.700 --> 01:02:45.300
but now

01:02:51.600 --> 01:02:53.000
It is.

01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:55.700
because you

01:03:12.100 --> 01:03:22.200
Are welcome everybody?

01:03:31.600 --> 01:03:32.300
Here welcome.

01:03:50.800 --> 01:04:06.200
Everyone welcome.

01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:21.500
Come selling it, but now come selling

01:04:21.500 --> 01:04:21.600
it.

01:04:22.500 --> 01:04:23.700
Now answer today.

01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:46.600
It's only the adults who seem to talk about marrying the

01:04:46.600 --> 01:04:47.300
girls off.

01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:50.500
the girls themselves never speak of marriage

01:04:51.300 --> 01:04:54.300
Only helping their families studying and having a career.

01:05:04.200 --> 01:05:06.900
It's the day of the grandma Sabbath The Village meeting.

01:05:08.500 --> 01:05:11.400
Joe is going to ask the people to vote to stop girls

01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:12.400
going into the Mills.

01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:15.200
families often need the money

01:05:16.100 --> 01:05:18.000
So will the meeting agree with Joe?

01:05:20.100 --> 01:05:21.000
You shaved for the meeting.

01:05:21.600 --> 01:05:23.200
and you

01:05:52.100 --> 01:05:55.500
Remember Roma McLeod in

01:05:55.500 --> 01:06:03.100
India gray. Tealla

01:05:59.100 --> 01:06:03.300
Valley

01:06:07.600 --> 01:06:33.100
On the particular language here in

01:06:10.100 --> 01:06:33.200
the

01:06:33.200 --> 01:06:33.600
Bible.

01:06:48.200 --> 01:06:51.900
We positive resolution on because of this adolescent girls

01:06:51.900 --> 01:06:54.200
those who are not working below the age

01:06:54.200 --> 01:06:58.100
of 18, then they should get minimum wages and they

01:06:57.100 --> 01:07:00.900
are give for any girls Drop

01:07:00.900 --> 01:07:03.400
Out Below 18 years test will support

01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:06.300
to continue their education till they complete 12

01:07:06.300 --> 01:07:09.600
standard, and that's what that that are the resolution we

01:07:09.600 --> 01:07:12.200
made in this. Thank you. Thank you.

01:07:13.500 --> 01:07:13.700
Thank you.

01:07:14.200 --> 01:07:16.600
But will the mill owners just ignore the decision?

01:07:19.100 --> 01:07:22.400
And the underlying problem of poverty may still drive girls to

01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:22.900
the Mills.

01:07:25.700 --> 01:07:28.100
You think that wealthy owners should

01:07:28.100 --> 01:07:29.900
just give more money to poor people.

01:07:31.400 --> 01:07:34.500
The attitude only that makes that makes

01:07:34.500 --> 01:07:35.400
to you.

01:07:36.100 --> 01:07:39.200
Nothing money can it's not near money.

01:07:39.200 --> 01:07:42.600
This is a this is an attitude and values and

01:07:42.600 --> 01:07:44.600
the compassion and the concern.

01:07:45.400 --> 01:07:48.200
You may not see lot of rich people can make

01:07:48.200 --> 01:07:51.300
what they think money can do anything we can

01:07:51.300 --> 01:07:53.700
we can get everything through money.

01:07:56.200 --> 01:07:58.300
But in real life that is not so.

01:07:59.100 --> 01:07:59.800
Would it be better?

01:08:00.700 --> 01:08:03.200
Can't we just reform capitalism or do we have

01:08:03.200 --> 01:08:04.100
to have socialism?

01:08:04.900 --> 01:08:07.200
Yeah, I I I'm walking

01:08:07.200 --> 01:08:09.000
towards socialism.

01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:13.500
There everything we can share whatever we

01:08:13.500 --> 01:08:15.600
have. That's that's a basic idea.

01:08:17.400 --> 01:08:20.100
But this is hardly a business model. The brands would accept.

01:08:28.200 --> 01:08:29.500
We leave Joe in his town.

01:08:30.400 --> 01:08:31.900
to catch up with RJ

01:08:32.500 --> 01:08:34.600
the boy who lost his arm in the cottonmill.

01:08:56.300 --> 01:08:59.400
It's the first time that I'm examining Ajay today.

01:09:00.300 --> 01:09:04.100
And in Upper limbs, it's very critical

01:09:03.100 --> 01:09:06.600
the interval between the loss

01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:08.700
of the limb and fitting of the artificial limb.

01:09:09.200 --> 01:09:12.400
And the earlier the better and we would like to do it generally in

01:09:12.400 --> 01:09:14.900
about two months time and here it's three years.

01:09:16.200 --> 01:09:18.400
I think he's done better than we expected.

01:09:22.400 --> 01:09:25.400
A lot of people take artificial limbs for the

01:09:25.400 --> 01:09:28.700
upper extremity only to complete their

01:09:28.700 --> 01:09:29.300
body image.

01:09:30.900 --> 01:09:33.600
And that has a huge bearing on their confidence just

01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:35.300
to feel and look complete.

01:09:43.900 --> 01:09:47.000
I believe that the magic lies

01:09:46.200 --> 01:09:48.900
in the person not in the device.

01:09:51.200 --> 01:09:54.100
And as I was telling him disability is not in.

01:09:55.500 --> 01:09:56.600
hand or a leg

01:09:57.300 --> 01:09:58.300
It's in the mind.

01:10:07.100 --> 01:10:09.800
You see the Expressions on his face when he came yesterday.

01:10:10.700 --> 01:10:13.900
He was non-communicative. He lacked

01:10:13.900 --> 01:10:17.000
confidence. He was self-conscious and today

01:10:16.300 --> 01:10:18.800
when he's sitting there with a hand.

01:10:20.500 --> 01:10:23.300
His body image completed the smile on his

01:10:23.300 --> 01:10:25.800
face. I mean, I'm very optimistic.

01:10:27.100 --> 01:10:32.300
The abolish

01:10:31.300 --> 01:10:34.900
Foundation associated with this film paid

01:10:34.900 --> 01:10:37.100
for RJ's new arm and is paying for

01:10:37.100 --> 01:10:38.900
three other kids in similar situations.

01:10:39.700 --> 01:10:42.400
Since the companies where the accidents happen are not

01:10:42.400 --> 01:10:42.500
paying.

01:10:44.100 --> 01:10:47.400
But what about the responsibilities of the brands the governments?

01:10:48.200 --> 01:10:50.200
And what can we do about all this abuse?

01:10:54.800 --> 01:10:57.800
All of this depends on us.

01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:00.800
It depends on citizens consumers saying

01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:03.800
these things matter to us. We

01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:06.300
want our own governments to do more.

01:11:06.300 --> 01:11:09.700
We want the companies whose products

01:11:09.700 --> 01:11:11.000
we buy to do more.

01:11:11.900 --> 01:11:14.500
And we're going to be we're going to you know,

01:11:14.500 --> 01:11:17.600
vote with our our wallets with our

01:11:17.600 --> 01:11:21.400
purchasing and we're going to vote for political

01:11:20.400 --> 01:11:23.500
leaders that make these issues a

01:11:23.500 --> 01:11:26.300
priority. We're not there yet, but we have to get there.

01:11:27.200 --> 01:11:28.500
we need to do is to ask the

01:11:30.300 --> 01:11:30.300
question

01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:38.200
with social media asking who made my

01:11:38.200 --> 01:11:41.800
clothes that will immediately go up to the CEO level

01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:44.700
and we really do know that this does

01:11:44.700 --> 01:11:47.600
make a difference when they do know that Brands and

01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:50.700
retailers are changing their behavior. They're disclosing

01:11:50.700 --> 01:11:53.200
more information because of the

01:11:53.200 --> 01:11:56.700
impact of consumers and because

01:11:56.700 --> 01:11:59.400
of our voices get political get organized

01:11:59.400 --> 01:12:02.400
organized pressure groups think of the leverage points

01:12:02.400 --> 01:12:05.600
who is an important lever of power in relation

01:12:05.600 --> 01:12:08.300
to a particular phenomenon who can you put pressure on

01:12:08.300 --> 01:12:11.700
to advance a progressive agenda, for example, the establishing

01:12:11.700 --> 01:12:15.600
of a transnational governance regime for International

01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:17.400
Supply chains to ensure that

01:12:17.400 --> 01:12:20.400
company X in country? Why

01:12:20.400 --> 01:12:23.700
is legally liable for the workers in

01:12:23.700 --> 01:12:26.400
countries Ed at the very foot of the supply chain?

01:12:27.300 --> 01:12:29.300
Long as Market is King the poor will never matter.

01:12:30.500 --> 01:12:33.700
And compassion is a basic. I

01:12:33.700 --> 01:12:37.100
honestly believe this that if we cannot care that

01:12:36.100 --> 01:12:39.500
somebody somewhere is leading a

01:12:39.500 --> 01:12:42.200
life that they ought not to have to lead and it's because

01:12:42.200 --> 01:12:45.400
we are all contributing to it. There is a bottom line

01:12:45.400 --> 01:12:48.200
and we seem to fall below the bottom line much too much.

01:12:49.400 --> 01:12:51.000
And the person about money.

01:12:54.600 --> 01:12:56.200
I will remember custom around here.

01:13:11.800 --> 01:13:14.000
We are not against the business. We are

01:13:14.300 --> 01:13:17.000
not against the government. We are not against a place.

01:13:17.200 --> 01:13:18.900
We are not against the brands.

01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:23.100
What we are demanding what we are requesting don't recruit below

01:13:22.100 --> 01:13:23.600
18 years.

01:13:24.500 --> 01:13:26.200
You should ensure their entitlement.

01:13:27.500 --> 01:13:29.000
page problem find

01:13:29.900 --> 01:13:32.300
and yeah their health you should

01:13:32.300 --> 01:13:35.300
treat as a dignity way. They have each one. They

01:13:35.300 --> 01:13:37.500
have a human rights. That is our demand.

01:13:39.400 --> 01:13:41.100
I'm gonna tell you.

01:13:50.200 --> 01:13:53.300
Calaverati's father is pursuing her case in the

01:13:53.300 --> 01:13:53.400
courts.

But something quite unexpected happens.

01:14:33.600 --> 01:14:33.800
here

01:14:50.700 --> 01:14:53.100

01:15:42.300 --> 01:15:43.900
do the kind of work Joe was doing
