What do i know about sweatshops?

A sweatshop is a factory or workshop, where manual workers are employed at very low wages for long hours and under poor conditions. You can find sweatshops most commonly in  Asia, China and Latin America . The purpose of a sweatshop is to make profit. Making ventures in a bid to cut costs, have to do away with unions and any other factor that costs and cuts into profits. We benefit because the cost is less on something being made in that big of a quantity but most people wouldn't buy their products if they knew that women and children make it against their will for long hours (16 to 18 hours a day),with few or no breaks, no days off, threats, intimidation, beatings, torture and even executions.
