Shop brands who use ethical labor
Look into the labor practices of the brands you shop. Make an effort to only shop those who make it known that they use ethical labor practices and fair trade products. You may even find some that are social enterprises, and go out of their way to create jobs offering living wages to underserved communities that don’t have enough employment opportunities. Some companies even fund workshops to teach underemployed communities skills that help them work not just for their company, but for others one day, and even for themselves. Maybe you’d prefer to buy shoes or body wash from these companies than other big brand ones.
