text: A series of thought-provoking clothing labels have been photographed in a bid to raise awareness of the horrific plight of those toiling in sweatshops around the world. The Canadian Fair Trade Network is hoping the images will make people think about the garments they are wearing and just where they have come from. Teaming up with the advertsiing agency Rethink, the photographs feature clothing labels telling the tragic stories of factory workers from Bangladesh, Cambodia and Sierra Leone. Each label says that the product is 100 per cent cotton - but adds that is not the whole story and follows on with a snap shot of just who could have made the item. Scroll down for video . The label in the red hooded top highlights the case of 34-year-old Tejan who had been coughing up blood but carried on working for fear of losing his job . One of the labels, sewn into a yellow, cable jumper, reveals a day in the life of Behnly and reads: 'Made in Cambodia by Behnly, nine years old. He gets up at 5am every morning to make his way to the garment factory where he works. 'It will be dark when he arrives and dark when he leaves. He dresses lightly because the temperature in the room he works reaches 30 degrees. 'The dust in the room fills his nose and mouth. He will make less than a dollar, for a day spent slowly suffocating. A mask would cost the company ten cents.The label doesn’t tell the whole story.' A red hooded top focuses on the life of Tejan, a father-of-two, and bears the label: 'Made in Sierra Leone by Tejan. The first few times he coughed up blood he hid it from his family. They couldn’t afford medical treatment and he couldn’t risk losing his long-time job at the cotton plantation. This label describes the story of Behnly, nine, who has been working since 5am . 'When he fell into a seizure one day it could no longer be ignored. The diagnosis was pesticide poisoning. 'The lack of proper protective clothing has left him with leukemia at the age of 34. He has two daughters. One of them starts work at the factory next year. The label doesn’t tell the whole story.' The final image, of a smart jacket, highlights a working day for 12-year-old Joya. The label says: 'Made in Bangladesh by Joya who left school at the age of 12 to help support her two brothers and newly widowed mother. 'Her father was killed when a fire ripped through the cotton factory where he works. She now works in the building across the street from the burned down factory. A constant reminder of the risk she takes everyday.' The jacket was made by 12-year-old Joya, says the label, who has to support her family after losing her father in a factory fire opposite where she is working . 'It's time for change,' said the Canadian Fair Trade Network. 'Buying fairtrade ensures workers are being compensated fairly and not exposed to unsafe working conditions.' Rachel Wilshaw, Oxfam's ethical trade manager, said the charity welcomed the campaign. 'Oxfam welcomes campaigns like this which use a creative approach to making consumers aware of the plight of garment workers on poverty wages,' she said. 'In Bangladesh for instance, the minimum wage is just $68 a month, far too low to support a family, an issue that Oxfam highlights in our report Even it Up! Time to End Extreme Inequality. 'Consumers concerned to find out which brands are tackling poverty wages can refer to Oxfam's new briefing paper Steps towards a living wage in global supply chains.' The conditions of workers in clothing factories came under the spotlight following the collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on 24 April, 2013. The tragedy resulted in the death of 1,129 people and a further 2,515 people were injured, many of whom were making clothing for big name brands. The incident saw the launch of Fashion Revolution Day, a now annual event which takes place on 24 April and invites people from around the world to turn their clothing inside out to display the label, take a selfie and ask #whomademyclothes via Twitter.
