Threadbare: Clothes, Sex, and Trafficking

A new book by

by Leela Corman, Delia Jean, The Ladydrawers, Melissa Mendes andAnne Elizabeth Moore

“Ever wondered who makes your clothes? Who sells them? How much they get paid? How the fashion and sex industries are intertwined? Threadbare draws the connections between the international sex and garment trades and human trafficking in a beautifully illustrated comics series. Anne Elizabeth Moore, in reports illustrated by top-notch comics creators, pulls at the threads of gender, labor, and cultural production to paint a concerning picture of a human rights in a globalized world. Moore's reporting, illustrated by members of the Ladydrawers Comics Collective, takes the reader from the sweatshops of Cambodia to the traditional ateliers of Vienna, from the life of a globetrotting supermodel to the warehouses of large clothing retailers, from the secondhand clothing industry to the politics of the sex trade. With thoughtful illustrations of women's stories across the sex and garment supply chain, this book offers a practical guide to a growing problem few truly understand.”  https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/books/6190   and learn more http://bkaccelerator.com/threadbare-new-book-fashion-sex-trafficking/
