Stratford High says no to sweatshop exploitation

27 January 2010

Last Friday, a group of school students from Stratford High in Stratford-upon-Avon participated in War on Want's Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops activity by having a group picture taken at school. War on Want has already handed in hundreds of pictures of supporters to Downing Street, and at this rate there will be many more on the way! So a big thanks is due to all of Paul Berthold's year 9s who participated in the fight against sweatshop exploitation.
