Watch our virtual tea party.Watch our tea party with Fiona Gooch of Traidcraft Exchange, whose campaign persuaded 6 of the UK's biggest tea brands, including Unilever, to reveal their suppliers. We now know where more than 70% of tea sold in the UK comes from.

LOW WAGES
Tea workers in Assam receive as little as AUD$2.80 per day. This is not enough to meet their basic needs. |
FEW ALTERNATIVE OPPORTUNITIES
Under Indian law, plantations must provide housing, food, sanitation facilities and child care. Employers inflate the value of these benefits to justify low wages. As tea must be processed soon after it is picked, workers have no option but to live on the plantations, if they want a job. |
WOMEN & GIRLS BEAR THE BURDEN OF POVERTY
Women take on the most labour-intensive, lowest paid job of picking tea leaves. Traffickers prey on their desire for a better life, deceiving them with false promises and trapping them in exploitation and sexual slavery in Indian cities. |
