Trade justice, not free trade
We are not against trade, but we do want to stop the European
pirates stealing our resources!
Norma Maldonado, Guatemala
Trade takes place on a number of levels whether it is goods you buy, services you use or the direct exchange of money. And in the era of globalisation the search for profit has gone global.
Trade could lift millions of people out of poverty. But international trade rules are rigged in favour of the rich and powerful.
The European Union is pushing through trade deals with developing countries that serve the interests of big business at the expense of the world’s poor.
The World Development Movement is calling for these trade deals to be stopped and campaigning for Europe to adopt trade policies that put people before profits.
