Komil Baror, 24, from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, works as a tailor in Pratibha Syntex, in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh, India. A member of the factory’s Fair Trade Committee, she has worked at the factory for 5 years. “I’m very happy to work here because there is no inequality amongst workers – the work atmosphere is very positive. I want to thank Fair Trade consumers for supporting us. Over a period of time, our involvement with fair trade will only improve the quality of our product because workers will be more invested in their work. Pratibha’s product is already considered the best in the region – we want to be ‘double best.'” Komil is very active in the FT committee and proposed improvements for migrant workers like herself, including establishing a community kitchen space, repairs for personal storage lockers, and establishing a designated room for visiting parents of workers, some of whom have traveled from thousands of kilometers away.
