H&M ads inside the outdoor ice rink of Budapest

H&M (Hennes & Mauritz), a major Swedish fashion giant, posted an advertisement on the outdoor ice rink of Budapest while hundreds of textile workers in Cambodia demonstrated for their rights and demanded better pay and working conditions. The minimum wage for garment workers in Cambodia was raised to $75 a month earlier this year. H&M profits last year more than $2.6 billion.



Trucks overloaded with female garment workers. Last year approx 
50 garment workers were killed while travelling to or from their factories
