“GAP” sweat-shops in India force Child Labor!!!
In several Indian states Gap is buying clothes from sweat shops that exploit children. The children are sold to the company to work by their families. Some of the children are not even paid as the factories claim that they are still “trainees”.

GAP should be sued into the ground for this.

Leave GAP alone, there are other like situations not being tended to as well.
begrudgingly because........what we term "sweat shops" are in all actuality good for women in third world countries. The women who are working in these factories often have no other alternatives except to be prostitutes. What we consider horrendous conditions (are we spoiled? lazy?) is a boon to people like this. They can support themselves without hooking or doing worse jobs.
