The FairWear campaign is a coalition of churches, community organizations and unions. The FairWear Campaign addresses the gross exploitation of workers who make clothing at home in our Australian community. It is an effective way for consumers to respond to this injustice in our own country. FairWear was launched in Melbourne in December 1996. Already, thousands of letters have been written to retailers and politicians, and consumer awareness and protest actions have been held.
The impact of this is being felt by retailers, but more is needed. We are moving into a new phase for FairWear, stepping up the campaign as more people participate. This site aims to assist groups and individuals to become involved in a range of actions that will draw attention and apply pressure upon government, retailers and manufacturers to make a difference to the working situation of outworkers
