What Is Fairtrade Fashion?

submitted 2 weeks ago by jacobray to clothing

Fair Trade clothing refers to an international movement prioritizing this golden rule that everyone linked to the clothing supply chain is treated fairly. Simply put, clothing suppliers and manufacturers, labors, transporters, distributors, and others get the most ethical working conditions and fair price deals. This movement also encourages local communities, providing work opportunities where clothes and other fashion products are being manufactured.

Still, there are many countries, where workers aren’t fully aware of their rights. According to a report published by the British Retail Consortium, most garment workers are paid less than the National Minimum Wage, don't have work contracts, and face tough work conditions.

This shows why ethical manufacturing and fair trade are crucial for underdeveloped as well as developing countries.
