People living in the first world take sneakers, jeans, bananas, and coffee for granted. But, there are so many people living in developing nations that are not as lucky as people living in the developed nations. It is a fact that every day thousands of people living in various South American, African, and Asian countries are working in almost unbearable conditions to earn pennies. They are working hard so that people living in developed nations can continue to enjoy the required things. But, the problem is that most producers are not getting what they deserve. There are people who think that every worker or producer deserves proper working conditions and decent wages regardless of nations and these people actually created World Fair Trade Day.
That’s at the root of the human interaction: fair trade

World Fair Trade Day is an international event and every year, people living in Canada observe this event on 8th May. Highlighting the achievements and objectives of the Fair Trade Movement is something that people do on this day. Well, Fair Trade Day is all about improving the lives of the small producers and workers living in the sphere of developing economics. It can be done by raising the visibility of those workers within and asserting the rights within the international trade. Consumers all over the world come forward and choose Fair Trade alternatives to the existing products. This is how consumers participate in this World Fair Trade Day.
Background Of World Fair Trade Day
Well, we are talking about World Fair Trade Day and so, we cannot miss the history of this great event. It was in 2004 when the World Fair Trade Organization also known as WFTO created World Fair Trade Day. Now, the World Fair Trade Organization was established in 1989. So, after 15 years, this organization started this event. Talking about WFTO, it is an international association consisting of more than 324 organizations. We cannot deny the fact that economic crisis and climate change are bringing negative impacts upon the world’s populations. World Fair Trade Day is a kind of worldwide festival that people celebrate to fight exploitation and poverty.
There are a few priorities of this organization.
