Charity T shirts sold by British pop group The Spice Girls to raise funds for Comic Relief’s ‘Gender Justice’ campaign are revealed to have been created under poor working conditions in Bangladesh.
The female factory machinists say they work in inhuman conditions where they are paid 35 pence an hour, work over 16 hours a day and are verbally abused by their superiors.
Spokespeople for The Spice Girls and Comic Relief say they are shocked and concerned to hear their campaign for gender equality was not conducted ethically at all levels of the supply chain.
