Fact sheet: The Modern Form of Slavery in Indian Spinning Mills - FEMNET Fact Sheet No. 1

The fact sheet first deals with the textile industry in India, especially in the state of Tamil Nadu. It then introduces the system of camp work, which has so far been discussed under the heading of Sumangali and represents a modern form of slavery. Finally, it presents demands from local non-governmental organisations aimed at spinning mills, international buyers – i.e. fashion companies that also sell their clothes in Germany – and governments in Europe. The fact sheet can be used as teaching material.

Scope: 2 pages; A detailed study has been published under the same title.
