Didn’t someone do a follow-up after Rebok was bullied into closing one of their plants overseas that employed 14 year old girls as workers?
And didn’t they find that over half of the formerly employed girls became prostitutes in order to survive?
So make your own value judgements — is it better for the children to experience the deplorable conditions described in the article? or to starve because they cannot find work? or to suffer the experience of being a prostitute in a third world country?
This article is a perfect example of propaganda by telling only part of the story to people who do not understand the economics of third world countries.
But American employers who subcontract to foreign countries can have a say in the pay and working conditions of foreign workers. Would you like your 13 year old daughter to have to choose between these slave-like conditions and prostitution? The Bible says something about depriving a worker of their wages as being a sin that cries out to heaven for justice.
