Unit Plan

Who Makes Our Clothes?

A multi-lesson unit designed for Grades 4-6 (Ages 9-12), Grades 7-8 (Ages 12-14), and Grades 9-12 (Ages 14-18)

The popular social media campaign #WhoMadeMyClothes heralded by sister organization Fashion Revolution lifted the curtain on the working conditions of the people who make our clothes; of the 60 million garment workers worldwide, 75% are women and 2.5 million are children, and most do not share the same rights or protections that we, in the west, do.

Who Makes Our Clothes? takes students into a deep dive into ethical fashion, exploring the global supply chain and all the "hands" that touch a garment before it lands on their back. Learners will delve into the difference between minimum and living wage, worker safety, modern slavery, and how human rights violations are still rampant in today's supply chains, all leading to an understanding of what is meant by the "true cost" of our clothing, 

This program will be available for purchase in Winter 2025.
