Today is Anti Slavery Day and we wanted to use our platform to raise awareness around this incredibly important issue.
SLAVERY STILL EXISTS
Why does this relate to fashion?
Fashion is one of the most labour-dependent industries in the world, as each piece of apparel travels through a complex supply chain.
However, lack of visibility further down the chain has led the fashion industry to become the second-largest sector, after technology, to support modern slavery.
Where does modern slavery in fashion occur?
From the pickers harvesting the cotton to the yarn spinners and the workers manufacturing the garments – slavery and exploitation exist at all stages in the making of clothes.
Across the garment and textile industry, exploitation includes:
- forced labour
- little or no pay
- paying in order to maintain employment
- working long hours and being locked into factories
- lack of, or inadequate, contracts
- lack of workers’ rights, including the right to organise and bargain collectively
- lack of social benefits such as healthcare, sick pay or pensions.
