Fashion Revolution Week
The fashion industry has grown at a frenzied pace. Consumers crave the newest, hottest, fresh-off-the-runway styles. This “fast fashion” focuses on quick, cheap production. Manufacturers underbid their competitors to keep up.
When issues like large cracks or other structural warning signs arise at these factories, the pressure to meet industry demands doesn’t allow for the downtime to address unsafe working conditions. Unethical companies choose risk over human rights. The unfathomable cost of that risk was evident ten years ago this week yet continues today.
Trades of Hope is Proud to Stand with Fashion Revolution Week
Trades of Hope is proud to stand with Fashion Revolution Week, the movement about changing the garment industry. Together, we can put an end to human rights violations and instead see these workers as individuals first. This revolution starts with each one of us, as consumers, caring about the real people who make what we buy.
The majority of these workers are women: Women just like you and I – women with children, sharing the same hopes and dreams for a future without worry. They deserve to be paid a fair living wage so they can be with their families instead of working 12–14-hour days, 7 days a week.
Won’t you please stop and consider…
