Behind the Seams: Life in Jordan's Hidden Textile Industry

...

We are located in an abandoned and worn-out factory premises in the Al-Tajamouat industrial area in Al Souq Sahab, which has been converted into workers' housing.

Anam and her colleagues work at the Jerash Holdings and Atlanta Garment MNF factories, which manufacture sportswear for famous American brands such as the New Balance, Adidas, The North Face, Calvin Klein and Timberland. The logistic chain is long. The clothes are produced in the factories in Jordan, exported to the Israeli port of Haifa and then shipped on to the United States...

- In the factories, we are not allowed to talk to our colleagues or use mobile phones. But sometimes they play Bangladeshi music on the speakers, says a woman.

- We would like to complain, but dare not because we are afraid of losing our jobs. For example, if one does not return home after completing a three-year contract, the company does not pay compensation. The targets are difficult to achieve and if we make mistakes the managers get angry, says another woman....
