A recent TV documentary exposed Nike as a manufacturer that takes advantage of child labour in India and other eastern countries, to manufacture its footware at low cost.

The company, along with Gap, have long claimed that they do not support child labour and never utilise it.

Children as young as ten were captured on film, working in cramped, over heated conditions, for more than sixteen hours a day. These children received very little for their labour but were forced to continue working in order to eat.
Their families are so poor that they cannot afford to feed all their children and companies like Nike jump in and capitalise on this poverty and suffering.
