During the investigation in southern and northern India, where the majority of garment factories are located, the team documented testimonies of over 30 Dalit women garment workers, who belong to one of India's most discriminated communities and continue to face gender-based violent harassment (GBVH), caste-based discrimination, wage theft, forced termination, social and economic disparity, and other forms of labour and human rights violations. Surprisingly, the women workers are unaware that they work for well-known German brands like C&A, Esprit, S.Oliver, Hugo Boss, Adidas, and Puma, as well as other European companies like Decathlon, H&M, Benetton, Lindex, and Just Brands.
