Feminist
T-shirts proudly worn by Ed Miliband (bottom left), Nick Clegg (centre
left) and Harriet Harman (top left) are made in 'sweatshop' conditions
by migrant women (centre) paid just 62p an hour, a Mail on Sunday
investigation has revealed. The women machinists on the Indian Ocean
island of Mauritius sleep 16 to a room - and earn much less than the
average wage on the island. The £45 T-shirts carry the defiant slogan
'This is what a feminist looks like' (pictured centre, held by
machinists who make the T-shirts). But one of the thousands of
machinists declared: 'We do not see ourselves as feminists. We see
ourselves as trapped.'
