In the sixth part of our 10-part series on the 10 principles of fair trade, Lia discusses the sixth principle: commitment to non-discrimination, gender equity and women's empowerment and freedom of association. It's a mouthful, but basically what it means is that fair trade doesn't like discrimination, it definitely likes women, and it absolutely loves unions!

Good working conditions

Yeah, we're judging businesses. And you should, too! Ethical consumerism is possible, but first we have to name the problem. Nobody wants shoes made by children in sweat shops. (Or at least nobody good does.) Nobody (good) wants to fuck up the planet more than we already have. So let's talk about what it looks like to ask questions about the products we buy, and make sure that we're putting our money where our values are. Or else we'll judge you, too.
