About 1,600 mills in Tamil Nadu employ more than 400,000 workers—60 percent age 20 or younger at the start of employment. Women and girls as young as 15 are recruited from impoverished rural areas and forced to work long hours for low wages, according to the report. Up to 35 workers reside in each company-run hostel, and employees are usually not permitted to leave the compound.
