II) Clean Clothes Campaign has different type of actions.
1) Pressure on companies
Clean Clothes Campaign
thinks that companies are responsible for bad conditions of work in places
where their products are done because as they are above the chains of approvisionement
they can and they have to do pressure for clothes to be made in good conditions.

make a list of all conditions that must be respected. Unfortunately even if
all what is write in those codes is good and really important, often it is
not respected: wages are too low, they work too many hours per week…
Clean Clothe campaign made his code of conduct in which there is the ideal
conditions of work for workers: freedom of association, no discrimination,
an age minimum to work: 15 years old, security measures, maximum of 48 hours
of work per weeks…
CCC is studying legal strategies to oblige them to respect it because for
the moment it isn't applied. This is why it incite government and international
establishment which are the only one who can oblige companies to improve conditions
of work.

If not CCC also informs the population with internet distribution of news
