World Fair Trade Day 2019
World Fair Trade Day takes place on the second Saturday of May each year. This year, FTG Nepal organized a cultural rally in Pokhara in the early morning of May 11th 2019. WFT Day is an inclusive worldwide festival of events celebrating Fair Trade as a tangible contribution to the fight against poverty and exploitation, climate change and the economic crisis that has the greatest impact on the world’s most vulnerable populations. It is key date for Fair traders and supporters to celebrate small and marginalized producers and advocate for the promotion of Fair Trade.
WFT Day 2019 was celebrated with the theme “Fair Trade Innovates”. The celebration proudly gave the message to the global consumers about the innovations from across the Fair Trade World. The ‘Fair Trade Innovates’ theme captured the present and future of Fair Trade. Various events were organized by member organizations as well as collectively in solidarity to create synergy and public attention.
