FASHION
We support workers and artisans changing the fashion sector for good.
In a sector brimming with untold environmental damage and exploitation, our partners are standing up for better, slower fashion.
Around 300 million people work in the fashion industry - and approximately 80% of garment workers are women of colour.
We stand with workers demanding reform. We not only campaign for legislative and policy change, but also support collectives working for better conditions and fair pay.

Join us in our fight to help ensure a watchdog is in place to advocate for the people who make our clothes. Check out our webpage to learn more, and see which Members of Parliament are already on board:
