Days after a damning report on low paid labourers, the Swedish fashion giant H&M says it's committed to ensuring that workers who produce some of its items from Ethiopian factories receive fair wages. The released report titled -“Made in Ethiopia: Challenges in the Garment Industry's New Frontier- revealed that Ethiopian labourers at garment workshops are the worst-paid in the world. The report stated some of the world's biggest fashion brands including H&M, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and others, source items from Ethiopia. Ethiopia's long-held ambitions to become the world's next big destination for textile and fashion production has not panned out as planned. Entry-level workers in the country's garment industry allegedly earn a mere $26 a month, according to the study from New York University's Stern Center for Business and Human Rights.
