Description
The right to adequate clothing is a forgotten right and as such its meaning is unclear. The lack of clarity surrounding this right means that it may not be used to its full potential. To explain, the fashion industry is facing various challenges surrounding our systems of producing, distributing, using, and disposing of clothing, which could be addressed by the right to adequate clothing, the potential for which remains unrealised. Therefore, to leverage the right to adequate clothing in response to these challenges there is a need to clarify the content of it and the obligations stemming from it. Additionally, the right itself can be informed in response to these challenges the vastness of which speaks to, and cuts across, many disciplines.This Hallsworth Funded conference brought together twenty-five practitioners, policy makers, members of civil society, and academics to discuss this issue from an interdisciplinary perspective, thereby focusing on actionable solutions and a clearer understanding of what is meant by ‘the right to adequate clothing’.
