It is being reported that children as young as 10 were making clothes in what is called a “sweatshop” in India that would be sold in Gap stores.
The children are said to have been sold to the sweatshop by their families. The children would not be allowed to leave until they repaid the debt.
The workers would work some days as long as 16 hours. Some of them were not being paid because they were told they were still trainees. Here is the link: Link

Do you think you are the type to argue or the type to bottle up your feelings?
