  • Motion reference: S6M-00081

That the Parliament commends Fashion Revolution Scotland on its campaign to end human and environmental exploitation in the global fashion industry; congratulates all who took part in Fashion Revolution Week between 19 and 25 April 2021; notes that Fashion Revolution Scotland is the Scottish team of the global, grassroots Fashion Revolution movement, formed following the Rana Plaza industrial disaster in Bangladesh in April 2013 which killed 1,138 people and injured more than 2,500 others; understands that the Rana Plaza factory complex in Bangladesh made clothes for some of the biggest global fashion brands, and that the majority of the victims were young women; believes that Fashion Revolution Scotland activists are doing important work to encourage individuals to reflect on who made their clothes using #whomademyclothes on social media, and raising public awareness about the systemic social and environmental challenges facing the global fashion industry, and considers that everyone must act to recognise the impact of clothes, end what it sees as a throwaway culture and accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
