This publication is a by-product of the Rapid Sector Appraisal carried out by the Evidence for Action
project: Increasing the impact of research to mobilize efforts against forced labor in the garment sector of
Madagascar and Argentina, implemented by the ILO, in conjunction with Verité and NORC, with funding
from the United States Department of Labor. This project aims to promote greater use of research in
policy and programmatic decision-making to help eliminate forced labor worldwide. The project seeks
to increase knowledge through robust research in the garment sector and based on this, mobilize
decision makers and stakeholders to take action against rights violations.
This publication features direct testimonies of workers in the garment sector in Argentina, many of
whom are migrants and live in vulnerable situations. Providing quotes and direct perspectives from
workers on various human and labor rights topics, the purpose of this report is to provide highly
relevant information for the prevention of potential situations of labor exploitation and problems
related to decent work gaps in Argentina.
