From April 10-16 millions of people around the world called on governments and the World Trade Organisation to make trade fair as part of the Global Week of Action for Trade Justice.

Where did the idea come from?

In November 2003, over 100 trade activists from 50 countries took part in a historic gathering - the International Trade Campaign Conference, in Delhi, India - from which they issued the global call to a Week of Action. Following this there was discussion with international networks before the idea was presented to a seminar of 500 people at the World Social Forum in Mumbai, India, in January 2004.

Who was involved?

Anyone and everyone. Hundreds of events took place in 70 countries and thousands of organisations were involved.
