The Global Slavery Index Report

The 2018 Global Slavery Index revealed some shocking statistics regarding modern slavery in the fashion industry. According to the report, garments are the second-highest product associated with modern slavery.

The index highlights the urgent need for greater transparency and accountability within the fashion supply chains. It brings into focus the grim reality that many of the clothes we wear may have been produced using exploitative labor.

Ethical and Sustainable Fashion Brands

One way to combat modern slavery in the fashion industry is by supporting ethical and sustainable fashion brands. These brands prioritize fair working conditions, transparency, and environmentally-friendly practices.

When shopping for clothes, look out for certifications such as Fair Trade, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), and B Corp. These certifications indicate that the brand is committed to ethical and sustainable practices.

By choosing to support these brands, we can send a powerful message to the fashion industry and drive positive change.

Making Informed Choices

As consumers, we have the power to make a difference through our purchasing decisions. By being mindful of where our clothes come from and how they are made, we can contribute to the eradication of modern slavery in the fashion industry.

Educate yourself about the brands you support. Research their supply chain transparency, labor practices, and commitment to sustainability. Look for brands that prioritize social and environmental responsibility.

It's time to shift our focus from fast fashion to conscious consumption. Choose quality over quantity, and support brands that align with your values.
