ActionAid Australia is launching a new campaign to Transform Trade for Women, and we’re kicking things off in Melbourne with a clothes swap to put the spotlight on the fast fashion industry.

Join us at the Industrial School in Abbotsford Convent on Saturday the 22nd of June from 11.00am-2:00pm to find some pre-loved treasures while learning more about how free trade deals are impacting women’s rights in sectors like garment manufacturing.

Make sure to click ‘attending’ for notifications as we announce some special guest speakers in the lead-up to the event!

Please pre-drop your clothes at 10.30am with doors to open at 11.00am – women’s, men’s and kid’s clothes are all welcome. Once you’ve found your new wardrobe, stick around for tunes, plus some delicious snacks from Lentil as Anything by donation. If you’ve recently cleaned out your wardrobe and don’t have anything to swap, you can still participate with a donation.
