Tunisian female textile workers: the rejects of Fast fashion
85% of textile workers in the Monastir region are women. These are the little hands of Fast fashion, whose working conditions are among the most arduous, if not the most inhumane, in the world of subcontracting in Tunisia. The suspension of the Multi Fibre Arrangement (MFA) since the early 2000s has further exacerbated violations of their rights.
In this investigation, we have tried to render their voices heard, voices that are not always audible under our skies; these are the tales of torment and the stories of resistance.
