Kmart and Target take a big step forward on living wages!

Congratulations Kmart Australia and Target Australia for taking a huge step forward on living wages for the women who make our clothes!

The two major Australian brands have strengthened their commitment to a living wage by improving how they source their clothes from countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh — complete with clear milestones and timelines.

To celebrate, comedian Sammy J recorded a special thank you message to congratulate them on taking this huge step. Watch it below!

We also want to say a huge thank you to you — our supporters who care about What She Makes. Brands really do listen to us. And now that Wesfarmers-owned Kmart and Target have taken this bold step, other brands will hopefully follow their lead.

Together, let’s continue to pressure big brands to see who will be next!
