Wear Your Values

 

About

Wear Your Values raises awareness of the fashion industry’s complicity in human rights abuses worldwide.

The fashion industry is one of the world’s largest economies and employs millions of people globally. Authoritarian countries often house the most labor-intensive stages of production, leaving workers extremely susceptible to human rights violations without any path of recourse.

Since 2017, HRF’s Wear Your Values (WYV) program has encouraged dialogue about human rights in the fashion industry. Through innovative public awareness campaigns and educational exhibitions, WYV aims to promote transparency in global supply chains and bring awareness to the hidden social costs of the industry.

HRF also highlights brands and designers who are ethically using local materials and labor, as well as those who are advocating for human rights through their work. HRF wants to call for positive investments and show consumers where they can shop with a clear conscience.
