Each image in the campaign notes "It's time for change. Buying fair-trade ensures workers are being compensated fairly and not exposed to unsafe working conditions."
A 9-year-old named Behnly from Cambodia made this yellow cable jumper.
"He gets up at 5 a.m. every morning to make his way to the garment factory where he works. It will be dark when he arrives and dark when he leaves. He dresses lightly because the temperature in the room he works reaches 30 degrees [C, or 86 degrees F]. The dust in the room fills his nose and mouth. He will make less than a dollar for a day spent slowly suffocating. A mask would cost the company 10 cents. The label doesn’t tell the whole story."
