I believe if you are aware of Kavitha's story, then you will become part of the solution. James

This photo really hit home because I'm disabled and I get these benefits as a remote worker. Value your workers and look after them in their old age and sickness. Jo

I chose this story because I,too, have back ache so I know how difficult it is to have to sit in an uncomfortable position with no proper back support for a sustained length of time.

I ask that these women get the support that they need to be able to work well, a living wage as reflects the work they do and pension rights when they are no longer able to work. Chris

This photo stood out to me because of the conditions the lady is working in - she looks so uncomfortable. I sit for several hours a day at a computer desk and get backache - how much worse it must be when you don't have a desk or chair.

Please explore your supply chains and find the home workers. Tell the governments of the value these workers bring to you, and ensure their working conditions are regulated and that the workers are treated with the respect we expect in the UK. Julie

The fashion industry relies on many people working from home, whilst it can be great to work from home if, eg you have caring responsibilities, it is important that conditions for all workers are regulated properly, Kavitha makes this point eloquently. Piers

I chose to share this story because the women like Kavitha need the work and employers make them operate in extremely basic conditions. There is no regulation governing employers. You, as those that buy from such companies, are in a position to insist on good working conditions for the women that make the garments. Cheryll

I chose this photo to highlight the medical problems some homeworkers can experience. It made me feel fortunate to live in a country where my healthcare is taken care of. Please ensure structures are in place to help with health costs or social care for homeworkers. Teresa

I chose this photo because I have worked from home since 2016 and I know how important good working conditions are for my health and productivity.

I am contacting you to show you how much it matters to me that you brand signs up to a fair and complete homeworkers policy, and has the infrastructure to ensure it is followed. Nick

This is just one of the stories of how homeworkers do not have the same rights as factory workers. I chose it because I had a bit of back pain recently so I could sympathise. I believe that you may already have homeworker policies but I urge you to ensure you are putting them into practice. Dorothy

Please read this story and commit to recognising homeworkers in your supply chain. So they can receive proper employment rights and pay. Amy

I chose this photo as I can empathise - home working had made my life easier and more flexible as it does for these women. However, unlike them, I enjoy the same security as my office working colleagues. Please recognise the home workers in your supply chain and ensure your labour policies encompass and safeguard these women, and audit their working conditions alongside those of factory workers. Jessica

Please can you assure me that you have the correct policies in place to protect women homeworkers like Kavitha in India .

This work is crucial to your business and important that we respect women workers that produce these beautiful garments for us.

I urge you to investigate the working conditions and pay of the people who make your clothes, and to support those who are campaigning for basic rights like pensions, maternity leave, and sick pay. I realise that it is not easy to investigate hidden injustice in your supply chain, but it needs to be done. Elizabeth

As a customer, I want to be assured that the products I buy are not produced at the expense of a homeworker who is not being fairly recognised for their work.

I therefore would like to be assured that companies such as yourself are doing all that is possible to ensure these injustices do not happen. Vanessa

I chose Kavitha’s story because I think we (me as a customer and you as a respected brand) can make a difference to her life and the lives of other homeworkers.

You have the power to change things so please could you really commit to doing something about this?

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider. Regards, Gill

Please check your sources, and use the power and influence of your companies to push for better working conditions for the workers. Ann

Please take a moment this Christmas time to remember people like Kavitha who are forced by circumstances to work in unregulated conditions. If your company uses supplies from such sources, please put pressure on the Indian government to put protections in place. Or just make sure that the people making your products are well looked after and properly paid. Louise

Are there homeworkers in your supply chain? If so, what steps are you taking to ensure they are paid fairly and have access to healthcare, social care and pensions like any other worker? Claire

I am sharing this story because I love fashion, but I want to make sure that Homeworkers around the world are well treated and their working conditions are safe. It is not acceptable in 2023 for home working not to be regulated. If you are responsible fashion retailers, you should be ensuring that that conditions for your Homeworkers are greatly improved. These women's livelihoods (and it is mostly women) depend on their work for companies like you. I'd really like to hear what you are doing to improve conditions.

Yours, Sarah

I chose this photo because of the story - it must be incredibly difficult to work with constant back pain and working from home should not be considered any less valuable.

I enjoy buying clothes but these stories prick at my conscience. Can action be taken to ensure these workers have the essential rights. Claire
