Made in … Eastern Europe

Bettina Musiolek and others

We have recently witnessed the emergence of "fashion colonies" and, make no mistake about it, they are booming. There's only one problem with this scenario: There happens to be lots of women toiling away in the name of fashion, which is not unlike what is happening in many Asian, Central American, and African countries.

Although this booming garment industry raises the hopes of many people, the seamstresses, the actual workers are left out in the cold while fashion multinationals turn a handsome profit.

The radical changes caused by the processes of globalisation, transition and EU trade policies just further exacerbates the power imbalance and increases the gap between rich and poor along the entire garment supply chain.

Let's put a stop to this way of doing business immediately! The time is now to create a resistance movement to counteract these global forces!

Read this and then ask the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) for further instructions!
