Homeworkers and their role in the global fashion value chain

Great to see this blog on FashionRevolution, written by Mary Milne from our partner Traidcraft exchange.

She highlights the important contribution that hidden homeworkers make to global supply chains, helping fashion brands manage demand and produce beautiful hand-stitched clothes. 

With the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, many homeworkers have lost their livelihoods and have no social security or savings to fall back on.  Work has completely stopped and they are very unlikely to receive any compensation or benefits.
