Because a sweat shop usuually sells gym items and clothing and when you work out you get all sweaty so basically this store is selling you stuff that helps you or that you can wear to get sweaty

Because children, women and the elderly are working 12-18 hour days in crowded basements/warehouses with little to no ventilation making the clothes.
