The Trade Justice Movement is a coalition of organisations including aid agencies, environment and human rights campaigns, fairtrade organisations, faith and consumer groups. The aim of the group is to campaign for trade justice – not free trade – with the rules weighted to benefit poor people and the environment. The group is calling on world leaders to:
- stop forcing poor countries to open their markets; and champion their right to manage their own economies
- regulate big business and their investments to ensure people and the environment come before profits
- stop rich countries promoting the interests of big business through trade interventions that harm the poor and the environment
- ensure trade policy is made in a fair, transparent and democratic way.
The website provides access to news, events and briefings and reports on the campaign and related issues.
