The children swim out and suck the oil straight out of the whales brain ๐Ÿณ

@jevatani

Hollywood and sports pay too much money to ignorant and uneducated people, it should not be any poor children in the world doing any kind of work ๐Ÿ˜ข

Dig and check in to the production houses of so called big brands clothes accessories how different are they it's all left up to you to put up stuff

@Wrldgirlvikky

This doesn't have enough views.

@miskyloo887

People do what they have to to survive..
What you should be talking about why the the picking isn't regulated by the authorities so that the pickers are paid a fair wage and don't have to take their children to work..
Its the parents who get the contract..
I hope your video doesn't make things worse for these people, what will happen is that if the entire families didn't help out they would only pick about 100 grams and get little or nothing for it..
Fight for getting the adults proper wages..

@traceler

Child labor is behind electric vehicles batteries, Chocolate, Jewelry, Solar panels made in China, iPhone factories in China and everywhere people at young age want to help their families with some $. Child labor is nothing new, it has been like that for thousands of years as long as human lust and greed has been.

@ashwinisawaitul9650

After dis is there any improvement in this community….did dey pay well so dat their children cant work in night and have enough sleep….

@yashvashistha7804

Just a major correction, the flowers shown are not jasmine but tuberose.

@nailajahangir-xz2ou

low price for such hard work๐Ÿ˜ข

@tessajones9393

It's also important to understand that *the ingredients of 'fragrance' don't need to be disclosed as it's a trade secret. So, anything could be in the ingredients. The skin is our biggest organ. Think about what we are putting onto and into our bodies as well as doing to others who breathe that in.

Greed and pure evil. The celebrities that promote these perfumes, should come together and demand they increase the payment for the collection of Jazmine flowers.

@AadhiraiSathyavathi

several varieties of Jasmines are popular here in India. Fresh flowers are picked on a daily basis, tied as garlands to adorn females of various age groups, year round. I really love the flower markets here in India. Long live fresh flower market๐Ÿ’– the refreshing fragrance of freshly picked flowers are no match to luxury perfumes!

@SheenaAmin

Although she mentions the onus is not on the consumer, but in fact, it is. When we question the supply chain and stop buying products from masters who use child labour for their flowers, we ultimately impact their economical standings and by questioning their ethics in the supply chain, we can pave the way for more transparency and preservation of human rights, elimination of circumstances that enforce child labour through fair pay policies and ensure the supply chain operators are audited without bribes and corruptions in the market.

@posseelvira

@33:58 I do hope the woman eating as a guest will provide this hard working mother and her children some $$money for the food she's eating.๐Ÿ˜ข

@anaccpsa

I hate jasmine too. Now even more

Stopped using iPhone years ago over the poor treatment and suicides of workers. Cannot tolerate jasmine tea, let alone perfume counters.

Time to make America great and healthy again. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, meaning, a clean body does not need perfume.

@Wiolka-z1m

Where are all man in this ? Only woman and children work?

@RIZFERD

FYI, those luxury brands are so mediocre overrated.
Even Oud/Agarwood the world's most expensive wood they have in their perfumes are so fake because the real one like mine on my channel isn't affordable for them because it's true rare to find in the wild nature.
I contacted them all since 2018 where I started to realize their tricks they're selling.

The Real Very Rare Pure Wild Very Old OUD AGARWOOD which you cannot find in any world's famous brands not even in the world's most expensive perfumes.
As This Is The Real Authentic they cannot afford, fancy brands are too poor.
And all those Arabs, Russians, Turkish, etc claiming they have OUD.
Oud isn't their native, cannot even grow in their very poor nature countries.
Learn about real Oud to claim if you have OUD.
And All Indian and Chinese Oud are Fake, overpopulated and their soil is too poor. Don't wonder why they never showed the tree source.
Even till today more than 50% spices, woods and coconuts in India come from Indonesia already for decades.
All of them aren't on The Center of The Equator Line Asia.
The Equator Line Africa and America cannot grow Oud/Agarwood, not native to them.

@kestnaika

Does any one know if any changes are been made after the bbc showcases these problems?
