This year’s Fashion Revolution Week will take place from April 22nd to 27th. The motto “think globally, act locally” today should encourage citizens: inside, to include local communities and political decision -makers: to include “to build a fairer, cleaner and safer fashion industry”.
The event is organized by the world’s largest movement of fashion activists: inside, fashion revolution. The occasion was the collapse of the Rana Plaza building on April 24, 2013 in Savar, Bangladesh, in which there were several clothing factories. More than 1,100 workers: around 2,500 were injured on the inside, many of them were serious. The accident is considered one of the most deadliest disasters in the history of industrial production. In order not to forget this and to improve the conditions under which clothing is made, the Fashion Revolution Week has been taking place every year since 2014 (or initially the Fashion Revolution Day).
“While governments worldwide to protect the environment and the rights of textile workers: Return in the inside, global brands tacitly move their sustainability goals and the disinvestment in fossil fuels into the background. This underlines why collective engagement of citizens is more important than ever,” explains Fashion Revolution in a press release.
The Fashion Revolution Week 2025 is therefore based on the idea that community is an effective instrument to motivate wider actions and hopes to mobilize citizens: inside via a network in over 80 countries. In addition to the worldwide sensitization and the further training of the participants: Inside, the event is committed to improved social and environmental legislation and increases the message that “fashion brands are held responsible for their effects and the transparency along their supply chains must be increased”.
“If we lead Fashion Revolution into the second decade, we have to build on the spirit of connection, research and the community in which we were founded. The first question of Fashion Revolution: ‘Who made my clothes?’ is as current as ever. Comment Sarah Jay, Managing Director of Fashion Revolution.
