AMSTERDAM - The Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) is urging brands to urgently take steps to minimise the impact of the coronavirus crisis on the health and livelihoods of garment workers.
The non-profit, which campaigns to improve workers' rights and conditions, says the Covid-19 pandemic is having a particularly severe effect on garment workers in global supply chains.
"Due to their low wages and widespread repression of freedom of association rights, garment workers already live in precarious situations and the economic fallout of the pandemic is having far-reaching consequences," said the CCC in a statement."
