Clean Clothes: a global movement to end sweatshops
The worldwide anti-sweatshop Clean Clothes Campaign marked its twentieth year in November 2009. To coincide with the anniversary a new book on the movement was launched, Clean Clothes, by Dutch writer and photographer Liesbeth Sluiter. The book takes an independent look at how the campaign has grown from an ad-hoc feminist coalition in Holland to an international labour-rights activist network that put corporate accountability on the fashion industry's agenda. The campaign, one of the most prominent anti-sweatshop organisations today, aims to improve the wages and conditions of workers in the global garment industry.
