The T-shirts, which were commissioned by the Spice Girls and retail for about 20 pounds, aim to raise money for a campaign by British charity Comic Relief championing gender justice. The slogan '#IWannaBeASpiceGirl' appears on the front of the tops, while the phrase 'gender justice' is printed on the back. "The girls will personally fund an independent investigation into the working conditions of this factory," the spokeswoman said.

Garment owners agreed to raise wages last week but many workers rejected the pay hike and launched fresh protests.
