[Cambodia] Workers Turn Models on Political Catwalk

[Cambodia] Workers Turn Models on Political Catwalk | Consumption Junction | Scoop.it

About 150 garment workers turned out to the Phnom Penh of­fices of the United Sisterhood Alliance NGO on Sunday to watch a politically charged fashion show entitled “Beautiful Clothes, Ugly Reality.”

Aimed to highlight the income gap between Cambodian garment workers and the selected CEOs of brand companies. The two-hour program featured a medley of cat-walking, political theater and speeches calling for a $160 month­ly basic wage.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

“The arrest, ban, threats and killing of our activists cannot prevent a workers’ movement,” said Hil Chandy, 23. “We still demand all buyers take responsibility to find a solution for $160 for all workers.”

Not exactly your kind of models, but poor workers  still have rich voice.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

If you've wondered what all the rukus is about, this neatly explains it all.


This affects, online shopping, retailing, gaming -- everything.

Don't kid yourself into thinking this won't have gender bias, race bias, etc. -- it will. This is an issue of the  99%.

Klout Is At It Again - Privacy Be Damned

Klout Is At It Again - Privacy Be Damned | Consumption Junction | Scoop.it
It seems that Klout has once again found a way to circumvent my Facebook settings - privacy be damned.
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

Valid concerns over privacy about everywhere lately. How can we make businesses, apps, behave when our government is doing it?

Laura Brown's comment, September 10, 2013 10:36 PM
I got lost with Klout. They made changes and I couldn't find the parts I liked any more. One less "service" I really need. No loss these days.
