Today we are #RememberingRanaPlaza On 24th April 2013, the Rana Plaza factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh collapsed, killing 1138 people. Today, we remember the workers and families affected by this preventable tragedy and demand that no one dies for fashion. 11 years on, we are reminded of why Fashion Revolution first formed and why we can’t stop collectively working to transform the fashion system over a decade later. #RanaPlazaNeverAgain #RanaPlazaRemembranceDay

🧵 Artisans in Fair Trade Enterprises are proud to embrace the #IMadeYourClothes action by Fashion Revolution! Imagine a fashion system where people are proud to work for a brand. That's the reality of Fair Trade Enterprises, where employees are valued as skills artisans, not just as labourers. #FastFashion may offer quick fixes, but it comes at a cost – exploited workers, environmental harm, and a lack of connection to the hands making your garments. 💪 Fair Trade Enterprises are flipping the script, fighting for a #BusinessRevolution where businesses thrive without exploitation. We invite you all to celebrate the ones pouring their skills, time, and passion into every stitch. These are the faces behind your fashion, and they're the heart of our global community. 🌟👕👖👢👚 Let's remind ourselves that it's not just about what we wear; it's about who made it and how (!) it was made! ✊ #FashionRevolution #BreakFreeFromFastFashion #EthicalFashion #WhoMadeMyClothes #FairTrade #BusinessRevolution

Every garment we wear carries the echo of #Justice! 💪 We may think that a fair fashion system is achieved by perfecting the fabric's quality, but in reality, it's the result of numerous social and environmental factors. #FairTradeEnterprises believe that restorative justice is the heartbeat of change. It's a commitment to fairnerss and respect, both to the people that make our clothes as well as to our planet. Through their holistic business model, WFTO-verified Fair Trade Enterprises embrace #RestorativeJustice by supporting local economies and ensuring that every garment we wear prioritises ethical business practices and social responsibility. Calling all business owners, advocates, and policymakers. Let's redefine the narrative of fair fashion.

🎨 It's World Artisan Day! 🔨 Everyday at WFTO we get in contact with our members, Fair Trade Enterprises. They tell us the stories of the artisans they work with, the #Skills they teach and learn, the #Products they develop to continue long-time #Traditions that would be otherwise lost. We are proud and honoured to be one of the organisations that bring to the forefront the voices of #SMEs and the enterprises, made of artisans, from homeware to fashion. Supporting the work of such inspiring businesses is our biggest pride and joy. Artisans are the backbone of our movement, and today we want to celebrate them all! ✨ #WorldArtisanDay #BusinessRevolution #FairTradeEnterprises #FairTrade
