Mahira Sheikh titkellem ma' Gaetano Micallef

Fit-tentattiv li tnaqqas l-isfruttament tal-ħaddiema, il-Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust (KKĠ) għaddejja b’kampanja biex tqajjem kuxjenza dwar il-kummerċ ġust. MAHIRA SHEIKH tgħid lil GAETANO MICALLEF għaliex huma qegħdin iħeġġu lill-pubbliku biex jixtri prodotti bit-tikketta “Fair Trade”.

Kemm ilha mwaqqfa l-Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust? U fiex tikkonsisti l-ħidma tagħkom?

Bdiet fl-1996 minn grupp ta’ nies li kienu qegħdin imorru barra minn Malta, bħal Sqallija u t-Tuneżija, fuq xogħol ta’ volontarjat. U dawn riedu li mhux biss jagħ mlu xi ħaġa konkreta barra minn Malta imma anke xi ħaġa f’pajjiżhom stess. Raw li fis-suq m’hemmx ġustizzja fin-negozju u ħassew li jekk ikun hawn kummerċ ġust setgħu jgħinu lil min kien qiegħed jiġi sfruttat. U waqqfu l-Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust.

On the occasion of the “International Demonstrations on Climate Change”, 12th December, Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust joins civil society organizations from over 107 different countries in voicing its concern on Climate Justice.

According to various reports from international organizations that work in poverty related issues people that live in poor countries will be effected the first and the hardest due to adverse effects of climate change.

“While people in rich countries think that climate change is an important issue, they don’t see it as an immediate threat. The same cannot be said for people who live in poor countries who are closer to the natural elements than people in rich countries are” said Gregory Ellul, a board member of Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust.
