    Actions Speak Louder Than Words How the Reclame Code Commissie Regulates Gender Ideology in Dutch Advertising. Case Study: Suit Supply’s ‘Toy Boys’ Advertising Campaign. Kelly Meijns – 10375651 Supervisor: dr. S.A.E. (Sarah) Bracke Second reader: S.P. (Sherria) Ayuandini Master Thesis Sociology – Gender, Sexuality and Society Amsterdam – July 2017 FOREWORD Sexist imagery in advertising is considered harmful by the UN’s International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which requires the Netherlands to pursue an active role in combating harmful gender representations in advertising. The only advertising regulating body in the Netherlands, the Reclame Code Commissie (RCC), has the power to rule on the limits of what is permissible in Dutch advertising. This study examines representations of gender circulating in men’s fashion retailer Suit Supply’s advertising campaign, as well as how these representations are perceived and responded to by The Feminist Club Amsterdam (FCA) and the RCC. Through a visual analysis of nine images from the campaign and a critical discourse analysis of an online discussion about the campaign by The Feminist Club Amsterdam, and of the ruling of the complaint against Suit Supply by the RCC, the discursive practices in relation to the campaign are examined. Analysis reveals that Suit Supply is aware of their use of harmful gender stereotypes, which are perceived as controversial and hurtful by members of the FCA. The RCC, respectively the College van Beroep (CvB), rules in favor of Suit Supply and deems the imagery acceptable, and not sexist. The study concludes that the RCC as an institution is counterproductive in combating harmful gender representations in Dutch advertising.

Families affected by the fire in Tazreen Fashions in November 2012 and the collapse of Rana Plaza in April 2013, both in Bangladesh, finally saw the compensation processes finalised. Moreover, we could also close our four-year campaign to convince German retailer KiK to pay up to the survivors and families of workers killed in the Ali Enterprises fire of September 2012. Although full justice for the families affected by these disasters has not yet been achieved, and the money does not make the pain of losing a loved one go away to begin with, these were important victories. They showed the power of perseverance and international solidarity working across the divide of production and consumption countries.

    BRAND PERFORMANCE CHECK Suit Supply B.V. PUBLICATION DATE: JULY 2019 this report covers the evaluation period 01-01-2018 to 31-12-2018 ABOUT THE BRAND PERFORMANCE CHECK Fair Wear Foundation believes that improving conditions for apparel product location workers requires change at many levels. Traditional efforts to improve conditions focus primarily on the product location. FWF, however, believes that the management decisions of clothing brands have an enormous influence for good or ill on product location conditions. FWF’s Brand Performance Check is a tool to evaluate and report on the activities of FWF’s member companies. The Checks examine how member company management systems support FWF’s Code of Labour Practices. They evaluate the parts of member company supply chains where clothing is assembled. This is the most labour intensive part of garment supply chains, and where brands can have the most influence over working conditions. In most apparel supply chains, clothing brands do not own product locations, and most product locations work for many different brands. This means that in most cases FWF member companies have influence, but not direct control, over working conditions. As a result, the Brand Performance Checks focus primarily on verifying the efforts of member companies. Outcomes at the product location level are assessed via audits and complaint reports, however the complexity of the supply chains means that even the best efforts of FWF member companies cannot guarantee results. Even if outcomes at the product location level cannot be guaranteed, the importance of good management practices by member companies cannot be understated.

  • Seattle Stopover: President Xi Jinping’S First Trip to the United States As the President of the People’S Republic of China Began with a Stop in Seattle
    Seattle Stopover: President Xi Jinping’s first trip to the United States as the president of the People’s Republic of China began with a stop in Seattle. During President Xi Jinping’s two-day stay in the Emerald City in September 2015, he and other Chinese government officials met with Washington state leaders, including Governor Jay Inslee and senators Marie Cantwell and Patty Murray, as well as business leaders, like Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. “I am no stranger to the state of Washington and the city of Seattle. Known as the Evergreen State, and the Emerald City, here you have got the majestic Mount Rainier and the charming Lake Washington. The film Sleepless in Seattle has made the city almost a household name in China. Besides, Washington is the leading state in U.S. exports to China and China is the No. 1 trading partner of the Port of Seattle. Washington and Seattle have become an important symbol of the friendship between Chinese and American people and the win-win cooperation between the two countries.” President Xi Jinping, People’s Republic of China September 21, 2015 Welcome Banquet The Westin Seattle Seattle, Washington The Year of the Millennial: For young professionals, the Seattle area is the place to be. By Nelson Yong The Seattle area is a fantastic place for millennial professionals to live, work and play. In my experience having lived in West Los Angeles, Orange County and Hong Kong, the city offers a unique blend of a burgeoning metropolis with new construction seemingly on every corner, a slower-paced town with boutique shops and early curfews, and a diverse set of enclaves that bring with them an equally diverse mix of cuisines and cultures.
