For 17 days, we will be sharing a glimpse into how the fashion and space industries engage with each of the 17 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forward by the United Nations.

In this tenth of the series, we examine goal number 10: Reduced Inequalities

Disenfranchised communities exist all around the world, and struggle for equality against different types of oppression. More and more interconnected, we develop empathy for those we are able to spend time with and learn to understand. Economic inequality is often linked to other forms of discrimination or system design. While this is one of the more abstract SDGs, it is equally interconnected with the other goals. Impacting any other will have an impact on reduced inequalities. Like the others, while system-wide change is necessary, we can also play a role as individuals.

While these lists aren’t comprehensive, the goal is to demonstrate the potential impact through shared efforts between the two industries, in addition to their potential impact independently. We would love to hear from you in the comments about other areas or opportunities you see or are working on.
