• February 2018
Nasreen has escaped from child arranged marriage, the only girl in her Nepalese village of 2,000 to ever have avoided that fate. Then she was a child sewer of textiles for which she and her brother were never paid. In response, she founded and became the Executive Director of LOCAL WOMEN'S HANDICRAFTS/ L.O.C.W.O.M. A powerful international speaker for women empowerment, Nasreen now travels globally advocating for Fair Trade Fashion, speaking out about sweatshops. As a millennial commentator on power, fair trade, gender justice & environmental protection, her wisdom far exceeds her age. Funny, passionate, and bold, Nasreen demands we learn where and how our clothes are made
