A fabric worker carrying newly dyed fabric on his bicycle rickshaw. It's pretty remarkable what you see them carrying on those rickshaws. While they may seem flimsy, I've seen those rickshaws carrying seemingly impossible loads including two whole sides of beef!
A worker carries newly dyed fabrics to be hung on clotheslines to dry. Bangladesh is the second largest exporter of ready-made garments in the world after China, and the textile dyeing and finishing processes are critical steps in the production of these garments. Fabrics are dyed, printed, and finished to meet the requirements of foreign buyers from the US, Europe, and other parts of the world. Major global brands like H&M, Zara, and Gap source their products from Bangladesh, demanding high volumes of dyed textiles.
A worker on the outskirts of Dhaka spreads newly dyed fabric out to dry. The entire village was engaged in this type of work, from dyeing to drying, as well as printing and pressing the fabric.
An accidental visit as part of an ‘Old Dhaka tour’ led photographer Claudio Montesano Casillas to unregistered sweatshops in Keraniganj, Dhaka and exposed the horrific reality of thousands of children in Bangladesh who are forced to work long hours stitching labels into clothes.

This boy looks as if he has already lost his childhood. In Dhaka. There are a huge number of garment workshops: some excellent, some reasonable and some very poor. The poor ones are likely to have under age workers, since women know the good ones.

Khaleda was working in the Rana Plaza building when it collapsed on 24 April 2013.
“There were 10 to 12 of us trapped under the rubble, we thought that we were going to die," says Khaleda. "We were saying goodbye to each other. I was rescued from the collapse after being buried for 16 hours."
Khaleda was treated for her injuries and later on received rehabilitation support from the UK aid funded Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP). She was also able attend a 3-month vocational skills training by the UK funded ILO programme and now works as a dress maker.
“I want to open my own tailoring shop in the future; ultimately I would like to become self-employed. After the training, my confidence has increased and I have enough courage and experience to manage a shop.”

Unfortunately, like many of the photos I've taken - this is a common sight. I took this photo while visiting a dye-manufacturing plant. This factory is part of the growing garment industry in Bangladesh.
Child labor is quite common in Bangladesh - either to support themselves and/or their parents. Safety standards such as requiring employers to provide for welding masks are non-existent in Bangladesh. If employees complain about injuries - they are usually fired.
This is a follow-up to "two kids rummage through trash". This photo was taken in the building next to the trash pile they were rummaging through.
Vintage sign from Toronto's garment industry. Based on the clothing of the gentleman, how old would you guess it is? I’m guessing 1890s-1910, but I don’t know that much about men’s fashion history.
Walk-Over Shoes has been around a long, long time (though I don’t know how long in Toronto)

This map appeared in Thursday's New York Times in an article on the tragedy in Dhaka; it is called "After Bangladesh, Seeking New Sources." Problem is, other manufacturing centers in Southeast Asia are too expensive; they pay more than the $37 per month the average worker in Bangladesh earns. The whole article here: nyti.ms/YQWSXs

I've no idea what the rates of pay are like: all I know is that the workers are all locals so they have the benefit of not having to travel to a large factory somewhere. I never call these places sweatshops: I just dont know.
