Dundee Fairtrade Forum is marking Fairtrade Fortnight by launching its new website. The theme of Fairtrade Fortnight this year Show Off Your Label. Dundee Fairtrade Foundation will be doing its bit by having an exhibition on display at the Central Library in the Wellgate and by launching its new website. There are a variety of events going on in Dundee's schools, colleges, universities, faith communities and right across Dundee during Fairtrade Fortnight.
I am the Convener of the Dundee Fairtrade Forum and I think that it is important to mark Fairtrade Fortnight. This year's theme is Show Off Your Label and is about Fairtrade in the textile industry. In Dundee this has a particular echo as many generations of Dundonians, especially women, were exploited in the textile industry in the jute mills of Dundee. We do have a duty to ask the question about where our clothes are made and how they are made and how the workforce is treated where they are made.
I am really pleased that we are having the chance to launch the Dundee Fairtrade Forum's new website to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight. The website address is http://www.ftfdundee.comli.com/index.htm This is an excellent resource for promoting Fairtrade in the city and beyond.
Dundee was Scotland's first Fairtrade City, we need to work hard to ensure that Dundee remains at the forefront of the campaign for Fairtrade and the campaign to make Scotland a Fairtrade Nation.
