I like how your infographic was concise and straightforward. Describing the environment and EPZ was helpful as well as reinforcing the negative consequences of this with statistics was powerful. It really put into perspective how serious this issue is and how we should do something about this. Exploited labor in EPZ is definitely a hot topic.

I liked your infographic in it’s ability to get information across. I think it’s also interesting how you including some statistics, such as the minority of cases, to which I assumed it was in most cases. I also have starting doing my final project on sweatshops with a focus on Bangladesh so I definitely understand the consequences of EPZ’s. I thought it was a good idea to include the numbers and let people know that they harm the workers and don’t give them safer places and unions to organize in.
