Fair trade is a social movement whose stated goal is to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions and to promote sustainable farming.

Members of the movement advocate the payment of higher prices to exporters, as well as improved social and environmental standards.

The movement focuses in particular on commodities, or products which are typically exported from developing countries to developed countries, but also consumed in domestic markets (e.g. Brazil, India and Bangladesh) most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, wine, sugar, fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers and gold.

The movement seeks to promote greater equity in international trading partnerships through dialogue, transparency, and respect.

It promotes sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers in developing countries.

Fair trade is grounded in three core beliefs; first, producers have the power to express unity with consumers.

Secondly, the world trade practices that currently exist promote the unequal distribution of wealth between nations.

Lastly, buying products from producers in developing countries at a fair price is a more efficient way of promoting sustainable development than traditional charity and aid.

Needlepoint is a form of counted thread embroidery in which yarn is stitched through a stiff open weave canvas.

Most needlepoint designs completely cover the canvas.

Although needlepoint may be worked in a variety of stitches, many needlepoint designs use only a simple tent stitch and rely upon color changes in the yarn to construct the pattern.

A menstrual cup is a type of feminine hygiene product which is usually made of medical grade silicone, shaped like a bell and is flexible.

It is worn inside the vagina during menstruation to catch menstrual fluid (blood).

About every 4–12 hours (depending on the amount of flow), the menstruating woman removes the menstrual cup from her vagina, empties the collected menstrual blood into a toilet or sink, washes the cup under running water and inserts it again.

At the end of the monthly period, the cup can be sterilized, usually by boiling in water.

Unlike tampons and pads, the cup collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it.

Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define and advance political, economic, personal, and social rights for women.

This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment.
