Made in Bangladesh

It has never came across my mind where my clothes were manufactured and this video has OPENED MY EYES. I've already had some background knowledge on the harsh labor others have to endure to have our clothes ready and shipped over and as much as I tried to deny it, I sort of shrugged it off. But after witnessing the reality of it all in this video I felt a little frightened. How a simple piece of garment had such a terrifying back story was enough to send me thinking about my own life and how thankful I should be. It was so surreal but I had to accept the fact that that was happening around the world. While we're sitting here in a safe peaceful environment, people are out there living in fear. I know I won't be able to help much and I am not expected to be a hero but the least I could do is avoid purchasing such garments made from countries such as Bangladesh or areas in similar situations.
