raising awareness

Fair Trade week

The ONE-Advocates for the Poor on the University of Oklahoma campus proposes a "Fair Trade Week" to raise awareness on campus about Fair Trade and related issues such as extreme poverty and child labor. We aim at showing a film on child labor, "Stolen Childhoods," having discussions and presentations on topics such as "fair trade versus free trade," "how fair is free trade," "watch what you buy" etc, in order to educate our community on the neglected issue of trade, and how their buying habits may affect them.
