The Right to Informed Knowledge About Products

The assertion that consumers possess an inherent right to complete, transparent information about product sourcing, composition, labor practices, and environmental impact.

Juana
Why It Matters

Sor Juana fought fiercely for her right to knowledge and education against institutional barriers. This same principle applies to consumer rights: you deserve full transparency about what you purchase. Corporations often obscure supply chains, labor conditions, and environmental damage through deliberate opacity. Ethical consumption begins with demanding this information as a fundamental right. Sor Juana's legacy teaches us that knowledge is power and that ignorance—whether imposed or chosen—enables injustice. By insisting on clear labeling, supply chain transparency, and honest marketing, we honor her intellectual legacy. Informed choice is not a luxury but a prerequisite for moral agency in the marketplace.
