We know over 200,000 young women and girls have been
trafficked to work in cotton mills in Tamil Nadu, India. Recruited
under false promises through a scheme called Sumangali. They are promised a lump
sum payment after 3-5 years but often receive nothing. There is little or no
training or health and safety equipment. Their freedom is restricted, often
living in onsite hostels, and their contact with the outside world limited.
STOP THE TRAFFIK is campaigning to end trafficking through
this scheme and across the whole fashion supply chain.
