Fashion Revolution Week, the annual global campaign calling for a fashion industry that values people and the planet over growth and profit, will run from Monday 19th – Sunday 25th April 2021. This year, Fashion Revolution is calling on the fashion industry and governments to recognize the interconnection between human rights and the rights of nature. The campaign group believes we need a radical shift in our relationships—with each other, with our clothes, within fashion supply chains and with the natural world—so that the rights of people and the rights of nature hold more of the power wherever decisions are being made.

Fashion Revolution argues that the human exploitation and ecosystem degradation we see all around us today are the product of centuries of colonialism and globalized exploitation, stemming from a western-focused worldview in which human and environmental prosperity are seen as isolated and disconnected from each other. They believe we need this revolution for our own prosperity and well being, and for the health of our earth and our oceans. This Fashion Revolution Week, they will be are bringing people together from across multiple communities, amplifying unheard and marginalized voices, and working together to explore interconnected solutions.
