The Asia Floor Wage campaign is calling for a single minimum living wage figure to be paid to garment workers across India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, China, Thailand and Bangladesh.

You can show your solidarity with garment workers who have calculated this wage by printing the PDFs below and sending them to leading UK retailers Arcadia group (inc. Topshop, Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge), Primark and Next.

 Together we must urge them to ensure workers in their supplier factories are paid the living wages specified by the Asia Floor Wage Campaign.

Students on Oxford streetOn Thursday 6 December Topshop's dirty laundry was hung out in public as People & Planet activists across the country - from Brighton to Dundee - exposed the worker exploitation in the company's supply chain and called on it to clean up its act.

Students from P&P, a member of the Let's Clean Up Fashoin campaign, in 16 cities took action against Topshop on the national day of action to Redress Fashion. Washing lines of shame were strung up on highstreets, a banner attached to helium balloons was set off in the Reading store demanding that Topshop stop sweatshopping, Edinburgh P&P invited shoppers to enquire about the company's slavery policy, and more.

You can view the photos on People & Planet's website.
