Zaytoun, a co-operative that works with Palestinian farmers, distributes their olive oil and was the first enterprise to get the Fairtrade mark for Palestinian olive oil, has been invited to exhibit at Women Behind the Label.An event organised by the Fairtrade Foundation to celebrate the women who have driven the Fairtrade movement forwards - Women Behind the Label will focus on the women working in the developing world and the women working and campaigning here in the UK.
This is particularly critical given that 70% of the 1.3 billion of the world's poor living on less than $1 a day are women.
The event takes place on 27 August at the Good Housekeeping Institute. The press are invited to come along, meet some of these women, indulge in Fairtrade beauty products, tuck into some Fairtrade food and drink and watch pioneering women from the Fairtrade movement whip up tasty dishes made with Fairtrade ingredients. There’ll be Fairtrade cotton fashion and homeware on display too and a goodie bag stuffed with Fairtrade products to take home.
