Facts You Should Know About Fair Trade Clothing

By Gary Clark


This is a term that is used to designate the production as well as the sale of goods ethically. This is therefore a movement that was established to focus on how the employees are treated in the developing countries. This movement therefore ensures that the employees have received the share they are supposed to get. This is thus an attempt to alleviate poverty in the developing countries by promoting sustainable practices. The Fair Trade Clothing Foundation is thus comprised of people who have a passion for the environment and human rights. Below are some facts about this foundation.

You are aware that all the things you use, the clothes as well as the shoes you wear have been made by someone. This means that there is someone behind every shoe you wear. Hence, when you buy any item, you should know that there is a person who took his/her time to make it. Hence, it is imperative to know that buying these items is indirectly supporting those who made them.

The best way to support the oppressed is by buying these products. There are so many people that do not have the privileges that you have. These people do not even have the power to express what they feel. Therefore, they are forced to work in places that are not suitable for their health yet they get peanut pay. Therefore, buying their items is one way of standing up for them.

Most of the workers in the garment industry are females. In fact, almost ninety percent of the workers are females. These women work day and night is filthy places just to get some money to support their families. They are even more prone to accidents on a daily basis. Thus, it is advisable to support these people.

Another reason for buying the fair trade clothes is because almost ninety-eight percent of the clothes people buy are made overseas. America is however among the leading consumers of these clothes. This is therefore another way to support the workers in the developing countries that have to survive with minimum wages. The wages they receive are directed only to the necessities.

Several companies are now supporting this industry. These are companies that have the passion and love for ethical treatment of workers. Also, these companies care for the environment. They therefore support the foundation in ensuring that workers work in good environments and are treated well by all people and their employers.

Thus, these companies get these garments for overseas and sell them on their behalf. They may even buy the clothes in bulk and resell them at a profit. Either way, this is an excellent way to support the people who have no power to speak for themselves. In one way or the other, these companies touch the lives of people.

Therefore, it is essential to buy these items because it is the best and maybe the only way you can support a person going through hard times. You may think that you have lots of challenges but remember that there is a person in a worse situation that the one you are in.
