On page 27, there is an example of “good intentions gone wrong.” Senator Harkin introduced legislation banning products made by young girls in Bangladesh. As a result, Bangladeshi factories shut down and girls ended up in brothels. What do you think should be done? On page 210, the authors state that Chinese sweatshops have given women a boost because they no longer have to toil in the fields. Yet factory women face forced overtime, sexual harassment, and dangerous working conditions. Do you agree with this statement?
