Safia Minney and her team are spearheading the project Slave to
Fashion which gives an in-depth view of human trafficking in our
clothing supply chain.
When you think ‘pioneer’, think People Tree.
25 years ago, as the fashion industry began to boom and people were
making profits off the backs of others, Safia Minney, founder of People
Tree, decided to do things differently. Before this even became a
‘thing’ People Tree was working with Fairtrade co-ops and farmers in
developing countries to ensure that people and the planet were
sustained. They continue on in that tradition.

Sweatshop
A shop or factory in which employees work for long hours at low
wages and under unhealthy conditions.
The clothing industry is notorious for these. Watch a short
documentary of young Norwegian bloggers who went to spend a few
days with the people who make our clothes. This was recorded about
2 years ago. Much is still the same. However, with easy options like
Thread Life, we can change this injustice.
