BBC Eye Investigations found children working through the night, picking jasmine in fields last summer that were supplying global brands through factories in Egypt and fragrance houses in Europe. The flower is considered one of the most valuable ingredients in many of the most iconic fragrances.
The UN’s Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery said what the BBC had found may constitute ‘the worst form of child labour’.

No amount of perfume can cover up the stench of corporate negligence.
GREED is pay so little for raw materials and labor worsened by harsh conditions, only to sell to consumers for exorbitant prices.
Gotta love how L’Oréal’s response to this is essentially:
“We audit OUR supply chain, we can’t be responsible for what our third party vendors do, it’s not our fault”…
Gotta love shitty corporate greed
Boycotting perfumes from now on. May Allah swt protect these children from these greedy filths.
Is that the same Allah that condones child marriage?!
Ameen
Is that the same Allah that condones child marriages?
So what could we do. Is there a brand that pays it's suppliers a fair wage? If the firms paid the supplier more money, there's no guarantee it would make it to the actual workers. By me stopping buying perfume, the problem doesn't go away. Sharing this is one thing. Doing something about it is something else. There must be a better way.
This is disgusting! No amount of perfume will ever cover up the stench of corporate greed!
Is there a full episode

No one is talking about the many black house maids who are regularly killed and kept in the deep freezers, barried in the backyards, etc, in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East. Many have freed from their cruel bosses houses to immigration detention centers where they have endured hardship for months and years because their passports were confiscated by their employers and no one has come to help them. BBC should do investigation and expose these grievous evils done to black women in the Middle East!
Omg😮
You can safely include jasmine tea to your outrage. That tea is either scented with jasmin blossom or only the scent, hence the oil, which is also used for fragrances.
😢
fortunately, i am allegic to perfume .. I dont use it..They make billions out of children's labour as young as 5 yrs old..
The only problem i see here is parents using their children in the farms very early in the morning. So parents are the problem not the perfume industry.
You must be sick then. Can't you see that not only are the children suffering but they're also being heavily underpaid by the companies??
@@masterlightjames950 I still insist, the parents are the bigger people here, so they should not let / be allowed to take kids to the farms before they are of age. That will solve the problem, stop blaming the industry because some stupid parents are using their own children in the fields.
@@codmn1824 like I said, you have certain problems upstairs. If the companies paid the parents well enough, would they need to get their children to help them in the fields???
@@codmn1824 And what about the low payments? What solution do you recommend?
@@masterlightjames950 exactly, if the companies paid the parents well they would hire adults to help them harvest the Jasmine
The masters Will is to make profits, sad but it's the reality of the world over😢😢😢

She cries for her children BUT still forces them to do it.
The hypocrisy right?😂
No es justo, estos perfumes son caros. Compañías que son aves de rapiña.👎
The mother should start being part of the solution by not allowing her children to be working in such conditions, don't shift the blame to the corporation when you're culpable too.
I'm tired of the structural racism in the "dark metaphor"... Does dark mean bad in your language? That is racist! Tired of the dark metaphor! Dark does not equal bad. Stop the racist language!
Close your eyes, it’s dark. Open your eyes it’s light.
