Nature
The word "maquila" comes from the Spanish verb "maquilar" which means to assemble. "Maquila ships" are extraterritorial factories, where workers live and work without breaks in the day for long periods. These types of activities are bordering on "new forms of slavery" and constitute flagrant violations of workers, rights and individual human rights.
Claim
Sweatshops directly violate the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Sweatshop labour is modern slavery.
Counter-claim
Sweatshop labour provides stable jobs for low-income communities.
