About The Affiliated Organization
"The textile industry involves all of society from local to global - from consumers to producers, MSMe, value chains, artisans, businesses, designers, communicators, online sellers, marketing, big economic corporations, among others. It builds dreams and profits, but it is also responsible for modern slavery and the second most polluting industry in the world. For this reason, it's one of the most impactful spaces to work within to transform the contemporary world".
