The Personal View Of Fashion’s Non-Corporate Voices | Nasreen Sheikh | CFS+ Real Talks

Born in Nepal with no knowledge of her birthday or age, Nasreen Sheikh shares her story at CFS+. After surviving years of child slave labour in the garment industry, Nasreen Sheikh is now an Advocate for Women’s Empowerment and the Founder of Local Women’s Handicrafts in Nepal. She turns trauma into power with this Real Talk. An echo chamber is a space in which everyone agrees – and when it comes to fashion and sustainability, that’s not an environment that drives urgent action. To challenge our thinking and create a balance between corporate and non-corporate perspectives at CFS+, we’ve invited a select group of fashion’s independent voices to share their viewpoints on Redesigning Value. — JOIN THE CONVERSATION AT #CPHFSrealtalks • Subscribe to learn more: http://bit.ly/GFASubscribe • Watch our latest videos: http://bit.ly/GFAPlay JOIN OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY • Instagram: http://bit.ly/GlobalFashionAgendaInstagram • Facebook: http://bit.ly/GlobalFashionAgendaFacebook • LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/GlobalFashionAgendaLinkedIn ABOUT US Copenhagen Fashion Summit is organised by Global Fashion Agenda (GFA), a non-profit leadership forum on a mission to make sustainability fashion’s first priority.
