The Worst Truth of Fashion Industries
By Deepanshi J.

Everyone wants to look charming, beautiful and handsome. But do you know how the fashion industries produce clothes in bulk. How harmful it is for our planet! 50% more worst for the one who are living around these industries or working in these industries. You ought to know the Worst Truth of Fashion.
Fashion and textile industries, every year produce 92 million tones of waste and 1.5 trillion litres of water annually, resulting into degradation of our planet. If this would be continued for several more years than the situation will get worst and we might lack the basic things which we need for survival such as air and water.
Fashion industries really produce a lot of pollution. These industries are even responsible for 10% of our global warming.
Living near the fashion industries can be really high risking because, the noise that's been made from machines, generators and electric drills. Can result into irritation, anger, increase in blood pressure and heart beat. If the toxic gases are leaked from the factories, it could be hazardous for the person who inhales it and it can lead to long term effect. (This incident had took place twice in India, First in Bhopal 1984 and another one in Vizag 2020. Around 50,000 people were dead. But nothing still has been done, no safety measures have been taken, all in the name of development.)
Animals are brutally killed, in the name of fashion. There skin are torn for their fur, wool and leather etc. Dogs, cats, snakes, tiger,goats and sheep are often beaten and caged them for the whole life before being killed for their skin. The greedy people took away animals freedom. After taking their skins, sometimes animals die because of shock, blood loss or injuries. I really feel scared, whenever I think about how these workers roughly behave with the animals by kicking and beating them.
It has been estimated that 27 million workers all around the world suffer from injuries, illness, work related diseases, deaths and factories collapsed. Labors are not treated fairly. They are treated as slaves. Women are not treated equally, they are given less wages compared to men, she has to go through a lot including eve teasing, molestation,rape and torture etc.
Some cruel people make child labor practice in their factories. This has been seen in both developed and underdeveloped countries. Some are even very young, between the age of 6 to 13 years. These kids due to poverty, for supporting their families, managing to full fill their stomachs are ready to do work in few wages. These kids are innocent, they even get trapped in between of earning money and sexual assault. These kids might not even know what is happening with them. Despite of having fun, going to school, playing around and expanding their knowledge. They are made to work in factories. Future is in the hands of these young kids, if they are made to work in factories leaving their studies and sports behind. What will happen to our nation and its progress ?
It is really a high time to think about it. Illegal practices, killing of animals and degradation of our nature. This must come to halt. But how ?
