ACTIVITY

Become an ethical fashion advocate – Part 2

The students develop an understanding of the impact of child labor in the textile industry and explore ways in which they can contribute to change as individuals.

The intention is to recognize the difference between appropriate work for children (helping at home) and exploitative labor. Through this activity, they develop empathy, ethical judgment, and critical thinking about consumerism.
