Did you know that the women in Bangladesh who make clothes for big brands can be paid as little as 62 cents an hour?
This is called a ‘poverty wage’, and it means that women like Anju (above) can’t even afford to provide their families with the very basics — enough food for the month or a safe home to live in — no matter how long and hard they work.
Big, powerful brands like Bonds and Big W make big money, while Anju only makes a tiny 62 cents an hour — at times even less.
