"Machines and academic theories do not have heart and emotions to truly understand human lives. But the people behind these machines and theories, like young textile engineers, have this ability. They have the potential to change the human lives behind the machines.”
Bablur Rahman from Fair Wear Foundation, during our panel discussion when asked how to motivate young textile engineers to engage with social sustainability.
