•Solution• In order to stop these sweatshops, it would take the whole world to do so because as long as we are buying there products from these companies, the sweatshops are gonna be told to produce more and therefore put more work onto the sweatshop workers. Also, there would be an increase for jobs to get the products made faster. More poor people and/or children would get the job, just to get 5 cents an hour and to probably just die because of the negativity and unhealthy environment.
