Political activism; Business ethics; Fashion & beauty industries

The fashion industry has increasingly come under scrutiny for its social and ethical impacts. Behind the allure of fast-changing trends lies a complex network of production that often relies on low wages and unsafe conditions. As awareness grows about these hidden costs, the conversation is shifting toward shared responsibility among consumers, corporations, and policymakers. Ethical consumption and fair labor policies can align the fashion industry with principles of human dignity and equity reimagining fashion not just as an expression of style, but as a catalyst for decent work and social justice worldwide. Rethinking Fashion and Consumer Responsibility for Decent Work and Social Justice examines the intersections between fashion, consumption, and social justice with a particular focus on the pathways toward decent work. It critically examines how fashion supply chains are embedded in global inequalities, from labor exploitation and unsafe working conditions to issues of gender, race, and social exclusion. Covering topics such as fashion industry, social justice, and consumer behavior, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, educators, policymakers, and graduate scholars.
