Promoting Conscious Fashion, Fair Trade and the Empowerment of Women.
This program adheres to the organizational objectives that are: to be spokespersons for Slow Fashion, to be managers of fair trade and to promote affirmative actions that empower the participation of women in society, fashion with a gender perspective.
We want to inspire consumers to take an active role in reducing the environmental and social impacts of their garments. Through our consumer programs, we educate, inspire and empower people to make better decisions about how to buy, wear, care for and dispose of their clothing.
We organize campaigns, workshops, and exhibitions to generate a trend around conscious and sustainable living.
We collaborate with designers in educational processes designed to promote more sustainable fashion options for consumers.
Premises:
· There are determining socio-cultural characteristics for economic development.
· It is imperative to distinguish that the concept of gender is not synonymous with women, but rather refers to the relationship between men and women.
· Let us understand that gender relations do not occur in isolation and that they are articulated with other variables of social differentiation, such as class, age and ethnicity, among others.
· Employment is generated through economic development and local consumption.
Goals:
· Generate employment in the fashion industry through the hiring of female talents as a factor of economic growth for Costa Rican society.
· Acquire products from local entrepreneurs as a mechanism to add value and empower the local market, and thus these small and medium-sized companies generate employment in their communities and produce financial income in their operations.
