Fair Trade Fashion Markets Helping Women Around The Globe


Daily, women around the world are displaced by terrible tragedies in their lives and face a catastrophic loss of income, especially since many are the sole supporters for their families. Thousand are being afforded a new means in which to support their loved ones thanks to the ever growing world-wide fair trade market. Designers and companies around the world are now purposely employing indigenous, refugee and immigrant women (and men) through the fair trade crafting of jewelry, home décor, accessory and apparel items. Some of these businesses like ourselves based in the U.S., help to provide sustainable work for these artisans from economically disadvanted countries around the globe. The artisans often find their employment though artisan co-ops, and companies that practice fair trade principles providing opportunities for these talented individuals to work out of group locations such as workshops and small factories, while others provide them with the ability to work from home.
