Kurzbeschreibung:
Thousands of Syrians whhave fled their war-torn home country are working in Turkey’s apparel factories. Most of them dnot have work permits and are desperate tearn an income, which makes them highly vulnerable texploitation by employers. Many Syrians in the Turkish garment sector are getting paid below the minimum wage, even though they work long hours in unhealthy and dangerous conditions. Cases of employment of Syrian refugee children have alsbeen reported. Turkey is the third-largest non-EU garment-exporting country tSweden and Norway after China and Bangladesh, and an important sourcing market for the Nordic clothing brands H&M, KappAhl, Lindex, Gina Tricot and Varner (BikBok, Cubus, Carlings, Dressman, Urban et al.). This study investigates how these five brands are tackling the risk of abuse and discrimination of Syrian refugees in their supply chains in Turkey
