People & Planet is a student-led movement that empowers young people with the skills, confidence and knowledge they need to make change happen, at home and globally. Since 2009, the People & Planet network has been campaigning on justice for sweatshop workers, initially in the garments industry, and now in electronics. In 2013, People & Planet was part of a coalition of NGOs and labour rights organisations to launch Electronics Watch, an independent labour monitoring organisation for the global electronics industry.
