As part of the 'Rethink Your Clothes' campaign mandated by Luxembourg Cooperation, Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg NGO is pleased to invite you to a special conference 'Behind the scenes of fashion: exile and human exploitation on a global scale.' Organized in partnership with the Human Rights Advisory Commission and ASTI, Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg wants to highlight the connections between human exploitation, migration, and the fashion industry.
Featuring:
• Abdoul: Ivorian tailor, victim of human trafficking
• Audrey Millet: Doctor in history and humanities, author and specialist in the ecosystems of fashion, social issues, and migrations.
In her latest book, 'The Odyssey of Abdoul: An Investigation into Organized Crime' (published in August 2024 by Les Pérégrines Publishing House), Audrey Millet deciphers the mechanisms of human trafficking between sub-Saharan Africa and Italy, telling the story of an Ivorian tailor, Abdoul, who shared his story after arriving in Prato, a workshop city under mafia influence.
Evening program:
• Welcome speech by Jean-Louis Zeien, President of the Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg NGO.
• Decrypting 'organized crime' and testimonials by Audrey Millet and Abdoul.
• The situation of undocumented people in Luxembourg, analyzed by ASTI's political director Sérgio Ferreira.
• Book signing session by Audrey Millet in partnership with Alinéa bookstore.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event, which promises to be full of emotion and reflection. We remain at your disposal for any further information.
