Response to "What is Fair Trade?"

Yes, one of the values of fair trade is that products that are traded are made by free people. Essentially, Fair Trade is a social justice movement that seeks to ensure that laborers and people associated in the chain of production are treated equitably. Three of the primary standards are good working conditions with fair wages, no slaves, and no child labor. There is more here:
