| 説明 | I love a little retail therapy. It feels lovely to refresh my wardrobe come spring and summer.But lately, I haven't been browsing the shops in the same way. They say ignorance is bliss. A few years ago, I wasn't aware of the all too common harsh exploitation of people who make the clothes we buy. I would buy clothes without worrying about the rights of the people who made them - not because I didn't care. But because I didn't know. Now, every time I pick up an item of clothing in a shop, I check the label to see if there is any mention of fairtrade, of proper wages and fair working conditions. When I don't know the origins of a garment, my conscience usually won't let me buy it. We have a friend who lives in Cambodia. A while ago, she witnessed protests against the unfair dismissal of hundreds of garment workers who had participated in a strike to demand decent living wages. The garment factories they worked for supply clothes to UK high street brands such as Zara and H&M. Perhaps ignorance is bliss. But knowledge is power. At Chapter One, we firmly believe that unfair situations such as these can be turned around by ordinary people who care. You can send a letter to H&M, GAP and Zara, petitioning them to use their considerable influence to reinstate those workers illegally dismissed from their jobs, and to encourage negotians regarding fair wages for garment workers.Website | Facebook | Twitter |
