What’s the best next step when exposing wage theft in textile supply chains?

[NoahJ]

I’ve been volunteering with a group that documents labor conditions in textile supply chains, and I’m really struggling with how to handle the evidence we’re gathering. We have clear proof of systematic wage theft in several factories, but local authorities are dismissive and the workers fear retaliation if we go public. I feel a heavy responsibility to act, but I’m unsure what the most ethical and effective next step should be.
