Feminism imagines a better future for the world - one where power is shared equally and people are not discriminated against for being who they are. But as an individual, the path to getting there can often seem unclear or overwhelming. Whose policies are going to tackle the climate crisis best? Who should I be lobbying to improve abortion access? How can I help get better pay for carers? In this podcast series hosted by Wallis Grant, Feminist Futures explores not just what we want the future to look like but how we get there and what we can do to drive forward change. Exploring a different topic each week, with the help of experts from each field, this podcast will show how we can achieve a more equal and liberated society, one step after another.

This week's podcast is all about the future of fashion and how we move towards a more sustainable and ethical model. For it, I’ve been joined by Erin from the Fair Fashion Project, which is an incredible resource to educate people on the detrimental impacts of the fashion industry and it showcases the exciting and creative alternatives available in the slow fashion world.
Vision for the future
- 📒Updated school curriculum to include learning on how clothes are made and the impact it has on the environment
- 🥼Made-to-order clothes becoming the norm: forcing us to slow down and only buy things we really need
- 🌿Robust legislation in the UK to curb 'greenwashing' and having these properly enforced
🧑🎓Good practice and ethics being integrated into fashion degrees
