Wikipedia:Meetup/Wikipedia Editathon Fashion Transparency

From April 15th to 24th 2022, we invite you to the Fashion Transparency Editathon by Wiki Loves Fashion Transparency 2022. An editathon is a virtual event in which we collaborate to improve Wikipedia articles on a topic, in this case transparency in fashion. To achieve this task, we identified two work segments:


 * 1) Transparency in fast fashion brands
 * 2) * Problem identification: Fast fashion brands and retailers produce too much too fast and manipulate us into a toxic cycle of overconsumption. Meanwhile, the majority of people that make our clothes are not paid enough to meet their basic needs, and already feel the impacts of the climate crisis – which the fashion industry fuels.
 * 3) * Problem: Both people and nature are paying the price of the fashion industry's unregulated exploitation and waste. Despite the solutions that already exist, brands are avoiding the realities of climate breakdown by continuing to pursue extractive business models and greenwashing their way to sustainability.
 * 4) * Objective: Carry out the task of adding critical or controversial sections to the articles of fast fashion brands, since there are many fashion companies that create corporate articles on Wikipedia, where they only show institutional information, leaving aside the problems they generate. The goal is to inform people on all aspects of the supply chain, and demand brands to dramatically reduce their social and environmental impact through transparency in their articles.
 * 5) * Task: You can add a section or more information on controversies (including social and environmental responsibility issues)
 * 6) Rights in the fashion industry (human, labor, environmental, children's, women's, and problems generated by the fashion industry)
 * 7) * Identification of the problem: The current exploitative business models with which the big fashion brands operate allow money and power to be in the hands of those who are willing to abuse human rights, labor and environmental laws (or lack thereof). There is a huge global imbalance that needs to be addressed to allow for redistribution.
 * 8) * Problem: We need laws to ensure that people who work in supply chains are paid a living wage, to prioritize education, and to achieve a greater understanding of the value of clothing: its social and environmental cost.
 * 9) * Objective: By publishing Wikipedia articles related to human rights, labor and environmental laws in the fashion industry, we want to bring knowledge to people about how to create laws that defend textile workers, people who consume fashion and protect the ecosystems.
 * 10) * Task: Edit or improve articles related to Law & the Fashion Industry
