  • Why paying garment workers low, non-livable wages is what underpins fast fashion;
  • What a living wage is, how they are determined, and how this differs from a minimum wage;
  • Whose responsibility it should be to ensure that living wages are paid;
  • The most effective way to hold brands accountable to pay living wages without jeopardizing the livelihoods of workers;
  • And why paying garment workers higher wages doesn't necessarily mean that they will lose their jobs.
