FAIR TRADE AND THE FIGHT TO END HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
Many fair trade products go above and beyond simply paying a fair wage to artisans. They invest in the lives of each artisan in a holistic way that encompasses a mutual respect for their well-being, safety and livelihood. Fair Trade fights human trafficking by providing alternative employment under safe working conditions. Many projects help restore hope to women who have been trapped by exploitation.
