Universities Uncovered. Ask your university to tell the truth about sweatshops

Between 10 -14 of May, spread the word about your university’s attitude towards sweatshops. Join the Tweetathon.

Almost all schools have a uniform or a sports kit. You may not wear it but hundreds of your fellow students every year do. Colleges buy £millions worth of clothes every year.

But usually these garments are not made with Fairtrade cotton, and may have been produced by children, or by women barely older than you, for as little as 5p per hour for an 80 hour week.

Young people don’t want their schools and colleges to be full of clothes that make poor producers suffer. With your help we can create a national movement in schools and colleges, calling on them to source clothing which will improve the lives of millions of cotton farmers.

Students are calling for the education sector to Wear Fair! Will you join in?

Email us at wearfair@peopleandplanet.org if you would like to get updates on the campaign.
