i think if the economic ups and downs in the final months they could learn to deal sank i and the rest of the life they need a few will be if briefly if they. live today the european consumer has no way of knowing the origin of the leather he bites. the feel of the. number of e.u.

member states have deed localized production and see no reason for shoes and leather bags to be labelled made in bangladesh. i have my own business about the utopia because you must. get everybody happy to buy chip lead projects they don't think why is that everybody just coming from

here because i totally i know they're about the health hazards. our laborers are being exposed to for stuff lying export of oil that was just. over the last twenty years bangladesh has become a global center for letter production. this industry generates over three hundred fifty million euros per year for the country. and has very bad suburbs the capital dhaka around three hundred ten there is a field of twenty five acres producing the clothes and leather goods that flood the international market. was more than fourteen million skins are treated every year in the slum warehouses in tanaris sit side by side. and nightmare situation for which we westerners are also responsible i

was. all skins arrive like this every day and each one of the factories where in one of the has very bad tenor is an average sized factory employing around thirty workers it's here that the cycle of leisure tending begins. every day around one thousand tonnes of skins arrive directly from albatross all over the country to be stored in this hangar. go to the arrive coated in salt so as to avoid rapid decay.

but if you want to say i was in the morning we get the deliveries and we cover the skins and lie rinse 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 like what we do this three times over again but then again there was. a large proportion of the lot of 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 in the hez work is carry handled 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 turner 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 that what i. meant in the others put up with these working conditions for the simple reason that today in bangladesh forty percent of the population is unemployed getting a job in eternity is considered a lucky break. the main problem in the tannery is the smell. that i am it makes us sick blackens and it's a way of 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 smell this towel. and it takes away my appetite. i remember my first day of work in the factory. the smell was so disgusting that i threw up and fainting like so many guy had the noise of the machines pounding in my head until it would burst. but at the fracture i was i was sick for a week after but i know i'm used to it.

sherman doesn't know how old she is she may be twenty she's been working in a tunnel he said to lose on a good month she can earn forty euros like the last that. they got on this is my mother's house. like i did and this is my daughter. reza post three year old daughter thank you get it done and then and i'm sure. you get all that. back and 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 watch how they should tonight i never get any holidays and if i miss half a day they counted as a full day that i don't know if i'm sick it's the same they count me up sent one dollar so i have to go to work and even when i'm ill. i'd like i've been otherwise i'll have no money left at the end of the month. my money back there's no doubt that the judge will let a man. sherman spends ten euros on her rent and for this price she gets one tiny room in which to house the whole family. if you like the majority of the slums five hundred thousand residents dependent on the lives of industry. you know better than the portion i never get a pay rise. down i asked for one in january but nothing happened they said to be

happy with what i had or leave. after paying my rent and giving some money to my parents there's almost nothing left. after i had a better salary i could save some money but it's impossible right now. we're human i need money to bring up my daughter and send her to school but there's no one to show you how can my educated her properly without money get them i'm sure of the. human cost about how hard life will be the same for my kids. charmaine would like to be able to count on her husband to feed the family. we're going to. watch. what time did you get back home. at five and you know i am late because i went to the fish market he got such a one time should leave for work at noon i caught a cold i didn't feel well i must write up there you go to work at noon because you could called a man and me how do you think i'm going to go to work at eight. little mamas

preparing dinner. thank. you ok. so let me wake up maybe i don't get up. but. i shan't. let it go we have no electricity and no gas here so it's difficult to cook but worship that from us and to. hide like a more comfortable and cleaner life. i keep cleaning but everything gets dirty so quickly and i had to get. we live with the stink of the carries.

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 on reza i would hope that it was like that again. i. would never. think of him with a population of twelve million exist to watch and 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 neighborhoods but it's not drinkable and has to be paid for if you tell. me my husband pulls rickshaws back but he only works part time i don't make them his that's why i

have to work at sea. was a little guy. good. old . science technology innovation all those developments from from around russia we've got the huge earth covered. most of these voices the couples a lot for violence or thefts. but we drove the window climbed in and tried to start it. we pushed it a little way and here we were drunk. and soon who you're an alcoholic nearly all of them are homeless orphans with no money or relatives. or you could go to without me . for a moment but there it felt like i was back but those street hooligans are going to

beat me up at any moment. you know that i turned 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. who needs to be told language the truth close programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on the t.v. reporting from the world's hot spots that v.o.i.p. interviews intriguing story for you. then try a small t. arabic to find out more visit our big teeth dog called. play

. play. play. play. play. play. play. play play. play. play play play play. close i play it.

right. first right. and i think. on our reporters. on. that i work for a miserable wage and they yell at me that to shut down my day or not but dad. i got this morning i didn't go to work because i didn't feel well he doesn't have

a look on sunday about 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 back but how can i work in the state my hands and my feet hurt so much. less a work his feet and hands are eaten away by the chemical products used throughout the tanning 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 die the skins ammonium acids wrestling fans a c as old chromate. hydrogen sulfide and mill. inflammable explosive

and corrosive they use requires training the workers never receive. because we use all the derivatives of potassium. but how c.m.i. and ammonium. when we rinse the skins we use lots of acids. and we put them in the drums it can be dangerous. for the new workers it's dangerous but after they get used to it i. look at my hands there i k it's no problem that matters because i've just used chemicals. that. one is a few doctors working in his area bag. eat you know. his liver evolution. the other feet where do you want to do when

you're 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. most often in the leg. you still misuse. you. with these. 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 area . the handling of chemicals.

yes there 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. place we often drop the sacks and our feet touch the chemicals. one third of workers will be injured. for fifty years now the tenants union representing twenty thousand workers has attempted to improve working conditions for its members but to no avail one of whatever one of the pocket and little of that to be owners conversation and their behavior towards us. shows that their priority is to give us the least they can. without for many years that a union or union has put forward peaceful solutions. that they show no interest in

. i think with the tight ship they're going on with us so we have no other choice than to revolt 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 are sick but they're not going to the bosses have never taken any health measures for a night and they don't want doctors in the factories caring for the workers but i like that's why every day here at work is die from leather sickness look at the gum or see. and when the workers take to the streets to demand an increase in the minimum wage the police welcome them with guns and ammunition. in two thousand and ten several thousand demonstrated three died fifteen were injured and hung. drinks were arrested.

on the. way to the leather industry that is not a risk to health from one of the. national we want the bosses to respect the employment and health legislation of this country you know see because she doesn't for the money i mean the total by ignoring the law they make bigger profits lobby have gotten. was. as it doesn't look i do

this to protect her from evil. than to lead the nation i don't like going but. my daughter is three but she still can't walk properly there are not going to night she has trouble eating and falls over a lot. i think she still can't talk to one of allah now she's very weak and her health is very fragile than i did there and i'm not that bad but i can only afford to feed her rice and biscuits right back ok and i can live i. need a car. and. has no health protection the only way she can obtain health care is if the some soul dispensary which also is free consultations.

i am. ninety percent of the let the workers develop an illness as a direct consequence of their work if you live beyond fifty. what are your symptoms six months i've gradually been feeling worse and worse the more i work out the weaker i get. when you work it out the other factory. visually career women working in canneries are often frail. they suffer from the general infections there are very joint pain fever and coughing. children want to. finish it off and have

respiratory complications during the man arose so debilitated our dishwasher their body was suffering from part problems and gastritis. can not simply. fish shamming also worries for her daughter who is not growing well i'm coming from. a visit where is your child while you are working better she stays of my little brother. i'm here for the last twenty years right now i'm just. going to live in the never do not believe you are going to. be believed if you want to live. in this very bag no one is. tyra's he is three hundred times higher here. and 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 from mom to me so you're forced to. live here you can. live here i'm coming from long sleeve. i don't feel any better. but if you feel the. going down everybody. recently and despite her age showman's mother was forced to go back to work in an open air factory in the center of the. good little here there's some terrible smells but am i what can we do. i want 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. in other countries there is not political 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 fertile land so fertile lands to crowd into his every bag and its surrounding area it's. a willing to accept such conditions because the turner is 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 yeah because the river overflowed that lot of them and house was washed away. but i will tell. you and having a little thing i. didn't my parents have nowhere else to live so they stay here with us. and then i give it to you know what is your but i'm also from poland 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 talk about it when 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 i will but among friends and family some children also have to work to help their parents. sometimes now you have this idea that all of this and that is that so. much i think. the man himself the man fell for this in an effort to. get it in the business that my family it's your mother who works instead of your father and you hate me. the. wealthy british style. sometimes right.
