Fashion revolution week

From the 20th to the 26th of April Fashion Revolution Week took place to raise awareness for workers who make garments and the poor conditions. This was established in 2014 after the Rana Plaza incident. And 2020 particularly is an important year to remember, because as a result of Covid-19, many orders had been cancelled and factories closed. Millions of families will be affected as a result as they are threatened by unemployed, poverty and hunger.

Fashion revolution week focused on 4 key areas: consumption, composition, , conditions and collective action. Showing how the current climate is affecting those who make our clothes as well as the impact clothes have on the earth and oceans. The participation was online due to the lockdown in various countries. The activities involved online events, flash mobs, workshops and a worldwide selfie campaign.
