Posters against sweatshop poverty!

08 April 2011

A big thank you to everyone who participated in War on Want's Love Fashion Hate Sweatshop workshop yesterday.

The workshop was part of Mulberry School for Girls' yearly inspiring conference MulYouth. The conference was founded by a group of school students at the East London school in 2002 and has grown into a cutting edge forum for London youth to inspire each other and get involved in activism on global issues.

This year War on Want was invited back to run a workshop on the fast fashion industry, global sweatshop exploitation and our Love Fashion Hate Sweatshop campaign. It was great to have such interesting discussions and challanging questions from students in schools around London about the sweatshop industry and how we can campaign for justice. The students took part in our campaign by creating their own posters using slogans, stickers, action cards and other materials.

This event was just one of many which is growing our Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops campaign. War on Want supporters everywhere are organising clothes swapping parties, gigs, ethical fashion shows, photography shoots, school projects and all sorts of other events to spread the message and get more people involved. To organise your own activity in support of the campaign, or request a speaker or workshop, please email us and we can also send you free posters, action cards stickers and badges as well as help promote your event.
