Abstract (300 words maximum)
In this project, we have done careful research regarding the current state of fast fashion & mass-produced clothing in countries like Bangladesh. The purpose of our project is to answer the following question: what are the societal impacts of mass-market clothing production? We conducted this research through careful analysis of prior research done on garment workers' lives and their experiences as well as research on the production of clothing. We expect our work to shed some light on how the clothing industry has unfairly treated its workers and ultimately endangered their lives.
