Disturbing art against destructive working conditions:

“With explosive action and the strong emotional content of this Spanish artist Yolanda Dominguez reminds Madrid the death of 1,127 textile workers underpaid, which took place following the collapse of a building, Rana Palace in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in April.

The artist has called the work “Fashion Victims” referring to “workers in slavery, child labor, and to the millions of people harmed by pollution of the factories in the countries of production.”” (Source: https://condignart.com/2013/06/09/fashion-victims-street-art-referring-to-workers-in-slavery-and-child-labor/)

One of the worst forms of exploitation: Forced child labour

“As part of the Modern-Day Forms of Slavery group project, a photojournalistic investigation by NOOR, Pep Bonet focuses on the issue of child labour and exploitation in Bangladesh where there are nearly 5 million children between the age of 5 – 15 working in hazardous conditions in factories, garages and homes, in railway stations and markets, in small foundries — many for little or no pay at all. Many boys and girls who work do not have access to education and become trapped in low-skilled, low-pay work that further binds them into the cycle of poverty.” (Source: http://pepbonet.com/2013/08/portfolio/child-labour-and-exploitation-in-bangladesh/)
