The pandemic has shone a light on the exploitation of those – mainly women – who produce fast fashion. From donating to emergency funds to slowing the churn, retailers must be held to account. @JMPSimor @raakhishah @lucysiegle @liviafirth

I have been working with @liviafirth @lucysiegle @TheCircleNGO @LawyersCircle & others for several years on the right to a living wage in the garment sector. Covid has thrown a spotlight on the terrible lack of protections in this sector. Please support. https://t.co/VTOQ0hQii5

"Of the 74 million textile workers worldwide, 80% are women of colour."

"For there to be meaningful change, brands need to pay garment workers living wages . It is actually that simple. This is especially true if the person who owns the brand is a billionaire."
