Guatemalan garment workers, mostly women, face abuse and unsafe conditions making clothes for major U.S. brands.
Workers in Guatemalan textile factories, mostly women, produce clothing for major U.S. brands like Target, Carhartt, and Ralph Lauren under harsh conditions including 15-hour shifts, wage theft, sexual harassment, and unsafe water.
Despite the sector growing 37% since 2019 and contributing nearly 10% to Guatemala’s GDP, labor protections are weak, unions are rare, and workers face threats for organizing.
U.S. brands often avoid accountability through intermediaries, leaving workers vulnerable with little recourse.
