Working in the cotton industry

You and Yours

Available for over a year

The first of our special reports into the cotton industry. Behind every pound you spend on a t-shirt is a complex process involving the toughest factory conditions in the world. You and Yours has been given exclusive access to see what some of the companies are doing to try and change that. Today we report from India what it is like for children working in the industry. How the police are protecting older people from being victims of fraud by arresting them. And why students are turning to food banks.
