From the Fashion Revolution website:
On 24 April 2013, 1,134 people were killed and over 2,500 were
injured when the Rana Plaza complex collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
That’s when Fashion Revolution was born.
We believe that 1,134 is too many people to lose from the planet in
one factory on one terrible day to not stand up and demand change.
On 24 April every year, Fashion Revolution Day brings people from all
over the world together to use the power of fashion to change the story
for the people who make the world’s clothes. We want fashion to become a
force for good.
We believe in an industry that values people, the environment, creativity and profit in equal measure.
Our mission is to bring everyone together to make that happen.
We believe transparency is the first step to transform the industry. And it starts with one simple question: Who made my clothes?
There are now over 80 countries worldwide taking part in Fashion Revolution.
