So, we publish our strategic plans and past achievements for all to see.

Why Collective Fashion Justice exists:

Sections of this part of the plan are available here directly, to make references to factual statements accessible.

Systemic violence against animals

‘Every year, over 73 billion sentient, non-human beings capable of joy, fear and suffering are reduced to fragmented body parts industries turn into ‘food’ and fashion ‘materials’.

Suffering of farmers and abattoir workers

‘Working in a slaughterhouse is proven to negatively impact one’s mental health and outlook, with perpetration induced traumatic stress, coming from committing a violent act, being prevalent.’

Inefficient, destructive planetary use 

‘From the unsustainable production of fibre crops, to the use of fossil fuels in fashion destined for landfill, and our most environmentally impactful materials, those made from animals, the way our industry engages with the earth must fundamentally change.

Most pressing, our use of animals in food and fashion sees greenhouse gas emissions more significant than the exhaust emissions from every transport vehicle in the world: planes, trains, boats and cars. Our destruction of native land for farmed animal grazing is erasing the Amazon Rainforest before our eyes, and covering over a third of all non-barren land.’

The luxury of the few, at the expense of the masses

‘People of colour working in leather tanneries supplying the global west suffer disproportionately high rates of disease. Their communities live in such polluted environments that some are even known as ‘cancer villages’. Indigenous land is stolen for industrialised animal agriculture and then used to inefficiently feed animals killed for their flesh, fur, skin, and wool, which could instead, feed the 690 million people around the world who go hungry.

Slaughterhouse workers, often migrants, are treated as expendable. They are often severely injured and sometimes die in the dangerous conditions of the slaughterhouse.’
