Sweatshops exist all over the world. The awful conditions provide for the hatred of the sweatshop practice. Conditions and abuses in sweatshops consist of: wages so low, the workers cannot meet the basic standards of living, dangerous and substandard working and living conditions, uncompensated overtime, and sexual harassment.
Consumers buying products made in sweatshops range anywhere from people who buy Nikes to people who buy groceries from WalMart. Anyone buying any product can unknowingly buy products made in sweatshops.
There have been, and are, many struggling efforts to change the use and conditions of sweatshops. There are countless websites and informational articles on the change of sweatshops for the better.
