- Join us for a roundtable discussion on how policy can be used as a tool to increase transparency and protect the rights of garment workers.
Join Remake, The Outrage, and experts in the field for an in-person roundtable discussion on the labor rights abuses present in the fashion industry and how policy can be used as a tool to create a more ethical and transparent industry.
From unsafe working conditions to wage theft, garment workers around the world lack access to basic labor rights. The fashion industry, which employs over 75 million people, has consistently chosen profit over people, and we are demanding a change.
During this event, we will discuss why these labor rights violations persist and the lack of supply chain transparency within the industry. We will then look at solutions for change by analyzing how policy can be used to protect the rights of garment workers. We’ll also discuss how moving away from a culture of fast fashion towards a circular fashion economy builds a more sustainable industry.
