Africa is not a dumping ground for fast fashion to get rid their excess in form of “charity”.

From the factory to the fast fashion outlets, from there to people’s homes, from consumption comes more and more consumption and buying in first world countries due to season after season of changing styles and trends. Because its fast fashion, it will not satisfy the user for a definitive amount of time and will end up in the donation pile for ‘charity. As if the poor deserve bad, used up clothing.

Before the piles are sent to Africa, they are sorted out and the better looking clothing is bought by second hand clothing shops, and thrift shops, the worst of the worst is then sent to Africa. But not as charity, because it is piled and auctioned to the highest bidder and it is sold to poor communities for a very low price, they are worn for a short while and discarded off into nature and these are mostly the non degradable fabric that remain in the environment for years and years.

SO my dear friends, if You are on either side of the world, please make sure that you are not on the bad side of the fashion revolution. #fashionrevolution
