The Rana Plaza disaster in Dhaka highlighted the conditions under which most of the clothes that we buy in our country are being made—appalling pay and conditions and little regard for basic health and safety. High-street names including Primark, Gap, Walmart and many others are all involved. Four years on, they’ve done little to get factory safety improved. Indeed, if Bangladesh enforces the building regs, these multinationals will likely move their operations to another country where the rules are not enforced. It is therefore up to us to make the global multinationals insist on decent standards, wherever in the world our clothes are produced. Nothing will change unless we the consumers insist upon it.

Fashion Revolution Week starts on 24 April, when we’re in recess. Fashion Revolution is a global movement, demanding a safer, sustainable, transparent fashion industry. Question where your clothes are coming from, and under what conditions they’ve been made. Wear your jacket or your jumper inside out, so we can see the label. Fashion Revolution demands greater awareness of the cost of cheap clothing, and the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 also demands it.
