Why Design Your Clothing in Turkey: A Responsible and Ethical Choice
The global textile industry faces many issues such as exploitation of workers and poor working conditions in certain parts of the world. As a responsible Muslim brand, Sahaba is committed to ethical principles by providing not only high-quality modest clothing, but also ensuring that each product is made under humane and responsible conditions. This is why we chose textile production in Turkey, a country that upholds strict European labor and ethical standards.
1. Worker Exploitation in China and Asia
The working conditions in China’s textile industry are alarming. In China, as well as in many other parts of Asia, thousands of workers, primarily women and children, are forced to work in factories where they are poorly paid and subjected to long hours of labor in unhealthy conditions.
The situation becomes even more troubling when considering the plight of the Uighurs, a Muslim ethnic group facing repression in China. Many of them are forced to work in factories, often under inhumane conditions that violate their basic rights.
As a committed Muslim brand, Sahaba refuses to be part of a production system that exploits the most vulnerable, especially Muslim communities. We collaborate only with partners who respect workers’ rights and ensure decent working conditions.
2. Ethical and Responsible Production in Turkey
Producing in Turkey is not just a strategic choice; it is a decision rooted in human values. Unlike other countries that disregard workers' rights, Turkey applies strict European standards ensuring the safety, well-being, and dignity of employees.
- Child labor is prohibited
- Decent wages and social protection
- Safe and respectful working environment
We chose textile production in Turkey not only for the quality of its products but also for its commitment to ethical garment manufacturing. Our priority is to ensure that each piece is made in factories where human dignity is respected.
3. Sahaba's Commitment to Muslim and Humanitarian Values
As a Muslim business, Sahaba is committed to balancing aesthetics, quality, and ethical values. Modesty is not just about appearance, but also about how businesses operate.
We ensure that our employees work in respectful conditions.
We collaborate with factories that adhere to fair standards.
We reinvest a portion of our revenue into Sadaqa projects (wells, schools, mosques) to improve the lives of Muslims worldwide.
4. Strategic and Ecological Benefits of Production in Turkey
Choosing textile production in Turkey is a strong commitment to a shorter and more transparent supply chain, which limits our carbon footprint.
Yes, it costs a little more than other destinations, but we prioritize quality and ethics. We refuse to sacrifice human and environmental values for profitability.
Turkey is a crossroad between tradition and modernity, blending textile expertise and responsible production. This is why Sahabamens chose to establish its operations there.
5. Conclusion
By opting for ethical garment manufacturing in Turkey, Sahabamens guarantees its customers products that respect humanity. We refuse to turn a blind eye to the exploitation of workers in China, especially the Uighurs subjected to a true genocide.
Many large brands continue to profit from this exploited labor, turning human suffering into profit. As consumers, every purchase is a choice: support ethical and responsible fashion or perpetuate a system of injustice.
Choosing Sahaba is choosing fashion that respects your values. Let’s commit together, one garment at a time, to responsible consumption.
