Rejected petition Stop the use of Primark's sweatshops in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, there are 1.3 million children who are forced to work in factories to provide for their families. Also, the hourly wage is US$0.13 cents an hour which is far below the minimum and living wage.
In 2013, the Rana Plaza factory collapsed in Bangladesh and over 2000 people died.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Primark's policy is not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament. It is a decision for Primark. You could contact Primark directly with your complaint.

You could start a petition calling for legislation to prevent all retailers in the UK from selling clothes which had been made using child labour or in sweatshops.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
