Beyond the Label
This project is part of my long term reportage where I spent the last two years documenting those who work in the shadows of the billion dollar garment industry in Bangladesh and Cambodia. I visited the buildings of Old Dhaka that house a different “factory” on each floor; crowded rooms filled with people and sewing machines. I met the Cambodian women who work 12-hour six days a week and live in terrible conditions. And though most of the workers I spoke to refused to be quoted, I hope with my work to give a voice to the million of people whose working and living conditions remain unchanged since the Rana Plaza tragedy.
