Labour rights and sportswear production in Asia Acknowledgements Any report of this size is a collaborative effort. The principal writers were Oxfam Australia Labour Rights Advocacy staff Tim Connor and Kelly Dent, but numerous Oxfam staff and representatives of other organisations made important contributions to the report’s development. Elena Williams, Mimmy Kowel, Sri Wulandari and other researchers conducted interviews with sportswear workers. Maureen Bathgate edited the report and arranged the design, and Martin Wurt arranged the pictures. Special thanks are particularly due to all the sportswear workers, trade union organisations, factory owners and representatives of sports brand owners who shared their experiences and perspectives through the research process.
