i. mean today the european consumer has no way of knowing the origin of the leather he bites i feel terrific i think the number of e.u. member states have deede localized production and see no reason for shoes and leather bags to be labeled made in bangladesh.

i am my own business and they get up in. the etc very happy to buy to play the projects they don't i mean this and if we buy this coming from u.b.s. i go to the i know they followed the hen i said. our leaders i've been exposed to for supplying. goods to her. over the last twenty years bangladesh has become a global center for let the production. this industry generates over three hundred fifty million euros per year for the country i think has a very bad suburb of the capital dhaka. around three hundred turner is occupy

a field of twenty five acres producing the clothes and leather goods that flood the international market. that was more than fourteen million skins are treated every year in the slum warehouses in tanneries sit side by side. a nightmare situation for which we westerners are also responsible i served was. that. all skins arrived like this every day and each one of the factories where in one of the has area back turner is an average sized factory employing around thirty workers it's here that the cycle of leather tending begins.

every day around one thousand tons of skins arrive directly from avatars all over the country to be stored in this hangar. goat in kelso derive coated in salt so as to avoid rapid decay. but what you want to say i was in the morning we get the deliveries and we cover the skins and lie prints them and dry them how they was next after applying the chemicals we place them in the tanning drums and then we wash them i don't know why there was ever going to get the ocean but we do this three times over and in but it ended up with. a large proportion of the litter bags jackets and other accessories we buy. today produced in tanneries such as this

the working conditions are antiquated nothing has changed in thirty years neither machines nor techniques. telling is a long process to remove the parasites the facts and the hez workers carry handle scrape and treat the tons of skins using numerous chemical products and wearing only gloves for protection. agency i am cutting the small pieces of skin that had been damaged during washing.

sherman is one of the forty thousand working in the tanner is more than twelve hours a day nonstop manual workers are hired on a daily basis without training all contracts. few women are able to withstand such physically exhausting and wearing labor. i wear a scarf to protect my hair otherwise i would lose it because of the lime water. and when the water runs over my hands it burns away my skin and what i. meant in the others put up with these working conditions for the simple reason that today in bangladesh forty percent of the poppy. lation is unemployed getting

a job in eternity is considered a lucky break. the main problem in the tannery is the smell. that it makes us sick blackens and eats away at our skin. i don't know but people like me have no other choice so we have to take the job that. i work long hours because i have to cut the small leather pieces and unwrap the new skins they arrive. here don't know what sometimes the skins are crawling with parasites and the smell this towel. had to find it takes away my appetite. if i remember my first day of work in the factory. the smell was so disgusting that

i threw up and faint like so many guy had the noise of the machines pounding in my head until it would burst. but i didn't actually i was sick for a week after but now i'm used to it. and doesn't know how old she is she may be twenty she's been working in a tunnel risa to lose on a good months she can earn forty euros i can't let. it go down this is my mother's house. i was a kid and this is my daughter. back. post three year old daughter thank

god that you don't know then and i'm sure. you know what. i. did. back then that there is nothing at the factory they are no medical support . and that i have no friends and there are no safety regulations do you know when i start every day at eight am and there's no paid overtime they should you know i never get any holidays and if i miss half a day they counted as a full day the other one is i'm sick it's the same they count me up sent one so i have to go to work even when i'm ill. and otherwise i'll have no money left at the end of the month. my mom was. the judge will that's about that. sherman spends ten euros on her rent and for this price she gets one tiny room in which to house the whole family. can look.

like her the majority of the slums five hundred thousand residents dependent on the other industry. is enough that the abortion i never get a pay rise. get down i asked for one in january but nothing happened they said to be happy with what i had or leave. the child after paying my rent and giving some money to my parents there's almost nothing left that doesn't give up but i had a better salary i could save some money but it's impossible right now because i like the usa world and i need money to bring up my daughter and send her to school there are no longer sure did how can i educate her properly without money to get them i'm sure of the other one question i've had a hard life will be the same for my kids. charmaine would like to be able to count on her husband to feed the family.

what time did you get back home. at five and you left because i went to the fish market. time should leave for work at noon i caught a cold i didn't feel well ok i'm not trying to tell you go to work at noon because you could call. me how do you think i'm going to go to work at eight. little one preparing dinner. god. thank you. i never wake up i don't get up now that the.

national. guard down there it we have no electricity and no gas here so it's difficult to cook but i wish at that for us and i don't. that's a sentiment as i'd like a more comfortable and cleaner life. i keep cleaning but everything gets dirty so quickly. they get. we live with the stink of the tanneries. we have every kind of problem here. go by nobody but we can't afford to go anywhere else so i have to stay in this disgusting environment going nowhere as i wouldn't like it was that if. i. want. to thank god that you would with a population of twelve million i exist to water is a serious problem thirty percent of the population don't have any sherman and her

husband are among those who have the privilege of access to a water pump which they share with the neighbors but it's not drinkable and has to be paid for if you don't. need my husband pulls rickshaws back but he only works part time i don't want them here that's why i have to work at sea. was a little girl i know. i got i. interviewed . her. appeal.

to me speak your language. programs in documentaries in arabic in school here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks books of v.i.p.'s interviews intriguing stories are you. been trying. to find out more visit our big teeth dog called. elmo told me my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports to the players and no i will leave them to state clearly to comment on your latter point

to say it mr k.l.a. car is on the docket no god. no more weasel words when you have a direct question be prepared for a change when you run should be ready for a. critical ops page and a little down to freedom to cost. that i work for a miserable wage and they yell at me that you should and they are not but yeah. i guess this morning i didn't go to work because i didn't feel well he doesn't have to look under labor the boss was unhappy about that he got angry with me and he told me i would lose my job if i didn't come mother but how can i work in this state my hands and my feet hurt so much.

less a worker's feet and hands are eaten away by the chemical products used throughout the turning process these products are extremely toxic for the skin but also when inhaled the telling factories have no ventilation system. all the workers are exposed to danger but especially those who are in direct contact with the chemicals . proximately three hundred products are necessary to soften and the skins ammonium acids wrestling fans a c as old crow mates hydrogen sulfide and more. inflammable explosive and corrosive they use requires training the workers never receive. we use all the derivatives of potassium. and ammonium. when

we rinse the skins we use lots of acids. and we put them in the drums that can be dangerous. for the new workers it's dangerous but after they get used to it was. to put my hands there i k. there's no problem the batteries because i've just used chemicals. i mean it one is a few doctors working in his area bag. it you know. this liver evolution going to be you know the future. if you want to do that you are going. to fix the collars on the skins the workers use mercury huge quantities are used for blue and for black this process has been outlawed in france for twenty years

because mercury permeates the body and contaminates all the vital organs. stop she's going to let. you see these. days. in two thousand and ten at apex one of the country's so-called model tanneries three workers died and ten was seriously injured in an explosion caused by an error in the handling of chemicals. i guess they are accidents you have to be careful throughout the whole process especially when turning the drums on and off and when you put the chemicals in.

we often drop the sacks on our feet touch the chemicals. one third of workers will be injured. back up to fifty years now the term is union representing twenty thousand workers has attempted to improve working conditions for its members but to no avail. and a little beyond his conversation and their behavior towards us with shows that their priority is to give us the least they can because truth for many years is that a union our union has put forward peaceful solutions. that they show no interest in . you need to run with it i mean i think with the type should i go and i don't want to so we have no other choice than to revolt from an adult up i don't know what. long live the union strike no workers unite workers of the world unite workers

of the world get up and fight the most obnoxious the more almost all of us a sick they're not going to the bosses have never taken any health measures for night and they don't want doctors in the factories caring for the workers you know but i'm like that's why every day here at work is die from leather sickness look at the gum or see. when the workers take to the streets to demand an increase in the minimum wage to police welcome them with guns and ammunition. in two thousand and ten several thousand demonstrated three died fifty were injured and hundreds were arrested.

a month from the way to my leather industry that is not a risk to health from my local. and national we want the bosses to respect the employment and health legislation of this country you know think because she doesn't have the money coming into by ignoring the law only going to make bigger profits lobbying the government. i don't know the i do this to protect her from evil not like. a letter the letter not the legalese but oh. my daughter is three but she still can't walk properly there are a lot. she has trouble eating and falls over

a lot and. i think she still can't talk will of allah now she's very weak and her health is very fragile her mother there are going to do that but i can only afford to feed her rice and biscuits right back ok i'm actually getting a. new day cause to rally. and. sherman has no health protection the only way she can obtain health care is at the same sold dispensary which also is free consultations. oh ok. ninety percent of the of the workers develop an illness as

a direct consequence of their work if you live beyond fifty. percent what are your symptoms of the six months i've gradually been feeling worse and worse the more i work out the weaker i get. when you work. at the other factory. yeah women working in canneries are often frail. but they suffer from the general infections that very joint pain fever and coughing . children want to. finish it is often have respiratory complications. demanded rosso debilitated or dysfunctional their body was suffering from part problems and gastritis. simply.

shamming also worries for her daughter who is not growing well. to. visit where is your child while you are working that if she stays up my little brother. i'm here for the last twenty years to write home to see if you live here. in the film you're doing the film you are going to. believe if you want to live. in this very bag no one is. tight as he is three hundred times higher here than in the rest of the country but sherman and her family have no other choice than to endure the working conditions and to live in the sun breathable environment if you come home. this is your first time you can. live here you can live. here i'm coming from long

sleeve. dollars. i don't feel really bad here. but if you take the one you should. see. this thing that i gave you. recently and despite her age sherman's mother was false. to go back to work in an open air factory in the center of the slum. not at the get out of here there are some terrible smells better than what can we do. i don't know if we had rice in our belly what would worry about it but it can't be our priority today. in the countryside life is peaceful.

and. there well there is no work no food and in the winter. of a dish. that does happen. every year eight hundred thousand people leave their own first to learn to. crowd into his every bag and its surrounding area it's. a willing to accept such conditions because the turner is of their only hope. sharmeen is among these climate refugees she's originally from. the northern island of bangladesh and goes to buy water in two thousand and five and i understand that . we had to come here because the river overflowed and that a lot of them and house was washed away.

but i will. not give it to my parents have nowhere else to live so they stay here with us i have shown in that way only did they tell you the fee on the day and i gave it to her what is your i'm also from boulder and i ended up here because my home was swept away i built my house seven times and seven times it was carried away by the flood waters i have no more land to live on and no money to buy more there was no more work for us there that's why i came to. i'm on the rails i work at the tannery for forty five euros a month it's the only way for me to survive. on this yes. among showman's friends and family some children also have to work to help their parents. sometimes you know you have this idea that. i think that

i think that the. mother could. provide an implant for mind though for this and if i'm going to. get it and then they lose there's no doubt that you know my grandma it's your mother who works instead of your father and you hate me. the. wealthy british style. that's not on the president's right mind. margetts why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in cars a report on our. most of these voices the couple of the law for violence or theft. but we drove the window climbed in and tried to start it. we pushed it

a little way we were drunk. concerned who you're an alcoholic nearly all of them are homeless orphans with no money or relatives. are you going to live without me. for a moment but there it felt like i was back in those street hooligans are going to beat me up at any moment. as i turn my back i couldn't help wondering about my safety. isn't a warden he's there the father you could say that slava raises us he makes normal people out of ugly duckling. but if you're going to like. the space people live in.
