QUT Centre for Justice Briefing Paper Series:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To coincide with this launch, QUT Centre for Justice released a Briefing Paper authored by Paige Street, Sarah Bolger, Alice Payne, Martijn Boersma, Justine Coneybeer, Emmanuel Josserand, Sarah Kaine, Erin O\u2019Brien, Rowena Maguire and Timo Rissanen on The Effects of COVID-19 on the Textile and Apparel Value Chain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This research is part of the \u2018Strategies for improving labour condition within the Australian cotton value chain\u2019 project funded by the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC).<\/p>\n

The Briefing Paper investigates how the Australian cotton industry can influence working conditions along the textile and apparel value chain and mitigate the risk of labour abuses occurring downstream (Boersma et al., 2022). This represents a novel approach to a well-known problem. This paper reports on some of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on garment workers worldwide to present the opportunity for \u2018downstream due diligence\u2019. The findings spotlight the need for stakeholders throughout the value chain to work collaboratively to protect worker well-being. As is argued, a wider network of actors both \u2018in\u2019 and \u2018out\u2019 of the fashion industry needs to be involved in collaborative, multi-stakeholder organising to appropriately respond to injustice in the value chain.<\/p>\n
