Handwoven Oriental rugs are either made in a private home, in a small village or tribal enclave, by women, or in a workshop in a large village or town, by men. As I understand it, the children learn at their mother's knee, learning a most difficult craft that is a major source of income for the family, which they will use to support themselves for the rest of their lives. They are in a family environment, not at all the same thing as working in factories. Children in this country help out, for example, on the family farm without anyone calling it "sweatshop labor."
