Why all this?

The conscience of Clothing aims to stimulate a critical debate about unequal conditions in global supply chains, and to call for more responsible consumption. It shows the struggles in the production countries and thus points out unfair working conditions and trade structures in the textile industry. The material contributes to the establishment of fair working conditions and trade structures in the textile industry.
