Welcome to the Journey for Fair Trade Blog which was active from December 2010 - June 2012.
This blog is intended to be a resource for Fair Trade producers, networks, advocates and retailers. It aims to provide insights from the perspectives of local Fair Trade organizations and producers in SE Asia, and most importantly it examines the successes and strengths as well as the failures and areas for improvement in the Fair Trade movement.
I have developed this blog in five key areas listed below. For information and posts on Fair Trade in specific countries:
Gender and Cultural Relativity
Women's Empowerment and Fair Trade
