Why
buy fair? International trade does not benefit everyone in the world. Many
people live in poverty, are not treated with dignity and do not receive a
fair income for their labour. This has led to the emergence of the concept
of Fair Trade, which aims to guarantee that producers in less developed
countries receive a fair price that not only reflects the true costs of
their production and work, but also makes socially just and environmentally
sound production possible. “We
do not want charity; we do not want aid. We want self-esteem to lead a
respectable and decent life, to work for our dreams, to be acknowledged and
appreciated for our efforts. Like you, we want a fairer world. A group
of women artisans from Bangladesh in a message to IFAT (International
Federation for Fair Trade).
