They work overtime every day, sewing labels on clothes.

The picture shows children working in a crowded and messy factory building.

Casilas accidentally entered the local garment factory and was instantly shocked by the harsh environment inside.

This irregular factory has 15 sewing machines, no emergency safety exit, fire safety plan or fire extinguisher, and no fire and building safety assessment.
