Table of Contents
Particularly compelling reading after the April 2013 building collapse that killed more than 1,000 garment workers in Bangladesh, Advocacy Across Borders explores the strategies, strengths—and limitations—of Northern-based NGOs that seek to improve conditions for the millions of workers in the clothing and textile industry who face long hours, inadequate wages, and abuse. Garwood includes case studies of four NGOs: FairWear, United Students Against Sweatshops, STITCH, and the Clean Clothes Campaign.
