Call for a #LivingWageNow for garment workers on this year’s World Day for Decent Work. It is estimated that less than 2% of the people who make the clothes on our bodies earn a living wage. This means an estimated 98% of workers in the fashion industry are trapped by systemic poverty earning wages that cannot meet their most basic needs. Earning a living wage is a human right. In Bangladesh only 3% of the price of an average t-shirt is allocated to the people that make it. Across many producer countries, factory margins and labour costs are very low, whereas brand costs make up at least three-quarters of the total price. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This means that to pay a living wage to garment workers, brands have the power and the responsibility to readjust their profit margins, not simply pass on rising costs to consumers. Suppliers cannot ask for higher labour costs if brands are not willing to pay​​​​​​​​ for them. Brands will always relocate to cheaper factories. Good Clothes, Fair Pay is a campaign demanding living wage legislation across the garment, textile and footwear sector. Help make living wages a reality for garment workers by signing the European Citizens Initiative calling for the payment of a living wage as standard for all garments imported into Europe. We need 1 million signatures from EU citizens to push for legislation that requires companies to conduct living wage due diligence in their global supply chains. 📢 Sign the European Citizens Initiative: cleanclothes.org/eci - link in bio! 📑 Learn more: goodclothesfairpay.eu/faqs - Link in bio! ​​​​​​​​#GoodClothesFairPay #WDDW22 #PayHer #WhoMadeMyClothes #WomenInFashion #LivingWage #PovertyWage #ChildLabour #EndGBV #EndPovertyPay #WageJustice #PovertyPay #LivingWages #Europe #european #EuropeanUnion #ParisFashion #SwedishFashion #SustainableFashion #Sustainability #BerlinFashion #Mode #NachhaltigeMode #modeDurable #OOTD #FashionBlogger #FashionBlogger_de #fashionBlogs
