From workers' rights to ending fast fashion: The EU is cracking down on fashion’s malpractices

In a bid to right the wrongs of past transgressions made by the fashion sector and beyond, European legislators, politicians and committees have begun to crack down on various malpractices carried out by the industry through new bills and regulations, many of which address human rights issues and environmental missteps. The European Parliament has taken to discussing, debating and, occasionally, adopting new rules acknowledging these issues that would require EU-based companies to clean up their act when it comes to these affairs.
