AMSTERDAM – The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs has given its nod of approval to a new collaborative multi-year project in the country, aimed at promoting workers’ rights for those in key garment manufacturing nations where wage concerns and accusations of harassment are rife.
Through Stitch (The Sustainable Textile Initiative: Together for Change), made up of six likeminded organisations headed up by the Fair Wear Foundation, it’s hoped the Netherlands’ Ministry and brands can play their part in bringing about “an industry in which fair prices and decent wages are the norm.”
