An assertion of consumer agency and epistemic justice: the fundamental right to transparent information about products, their origins, and their makers.
Sor Juana championed the right to knowledge as inseparable from human dignity and freedom. Applied to ethical consumption, this becomes a demand for radical transparency: consumers deserve complete information about what they purchase. This concept recognizes that opaque supply chains, misleading labels, and hidden labor practices are violations of epistemic justice—they deny consumers the knowledge necessary for autonomous choice. Sor Juana's struggle for intellectual access mirrors modern consumers' battles against greenwashing and exploitation concealed by corporate structures. The right to know encompasses origins of materials, conditions of workers, environmental costs, and true prices that reflect actual impact. When companies resist transparency, they deny the basic right Sor Juana fought for: access to truth. Ethical consumption begins with demanding and honoring this foundational right to informed choice.
