MANI TESE AWARD FOR INVESTIGATIVE AND SOCIAL JOURNALISM
The MANI TESE AWARD FOR INVESTIGATIVE AND SOCIAL JOURNALISM intends to support the production of original investigations on issues concerning the impact of business activity on human rights and the environment in Italy and/or in third countries in which the global production chains are structured. The aim of the Prize is to bring to light facts and stories of public interest that are still little known and/or debated so far, with a slant both of denunciation and proposal.
The Award is part of the Mani Tese MADE IN JUSTICE program and is part of the "Change FASHION! From fast fashion to a transparent and sustainable textile industry", created with the contribution of the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS).
