The Big Dress is part of SEPAK's Trade Justice Campaign which is calling for:

  1. The reform of the World Trade Organisation to give poor nations and poor communities an equal say and a fair deal.
  2. A review of existing trade rules and their impact on poor people and their environments:

    • Trade Related Aspects of the Treaty for Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS)
    • The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS)
    • Trade Related Investment Measures (TRIMS)
    • Agreement on Agriculture (AoA)
  3. Multinational companies to be held accountable for how they treat their workers and impact the places in which they invest.
  4. Countries not to be pressured or threatened into entering new negotiations or agreeing new rules under a system where they are manifestly disadvantaged.
  5. A new rules based trading system which has poverty reduction as its core aim.
You trample on the poor and force him to give you grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,you will not live in them? Seek good, not evil,that you may live. Then the LORD God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Amos 5:11-15
