Join the World Consumer Rights Day movement and help protect consumer rights everywhere! Stand up for fair and just business practices.
March 15 marks World Consumer Rights Day, a day dedicated to honoring the rights of consumers worldwide. Established by the United Nations in 1983, this important day serves as an opportunity for us to come together and celebrate our consumer rights such as access to safe products and services, protection from unfair trade practices, and basic needs like food, clothing & shelter.
Look for products that are made ethically and sustainably, or that support local businesses. Buy from companies that practice fair labor practices, do not test on animals, and don’t exploit natural resources.
Learn about your consumer rights and find out about any campaigns or organizations supporting the cause. Take the time to read labels and research the company you’re buying from.
Find an organization dedicated to protecting consumer rights in your area and make a donation. Even a small amount can make a difference.
Look for companies that are transparent about their practices and actively work to protect consumer rights. Show your support by buying their products or services.
Share what you’ve learned with friends and family, and encourage them to share it with their network of contacts as well. The more people know about consumer rights, the better.
Observing World Consumer Rights Day helps to create awareness about consumer rights and the importance of holding businesses accountable for their actions. Knowing our rights as consumers can help us make better informed decisions when purchasing products or services.
World Consumer Rights Day not only helps to inform people of their consumer rights, but also encourages them to take a stand and fight for these rights if they feel they are being taken advantage of or treated unfairly. This can help strengthen consumer protection laws and policies all over the world.
By recognizing World Consumer Rights Day every year, governments are more likely to pass stronger consumer protection laws that better protect consumers from unfair business practices. This can help ensure that we live in a more fair and just society in which everyone has equal access to quality goods and services without any unethical exploitation.
