The fundamental principle that consumers deserve transparent information about product origins, labor conditions, and environmental costs as a matter of justice and dignity.
Sor Juana fought throughout her life for the right to access information, to learn, and to understand the world around her—fundamental rights she believed were inseparable from human dignity. This principle extends directly to ethical consumption: you have the right to know where your clothing was made, who produced it, under what conditions, and what environmental toll its creation took. This isn't a luxury preference but a justice issue rooted in the recognition of shared humanity. When corporations obscure supply chains or hide labor exploitation, they deny consumers the information necessary for moral agency. Sor Juana's intellectual legacy insists that ignorance is not innocence—it is a condition imposed on us when information is withheld. Demanding transparency in consumption, pushing back against deliberate obscurity, and supporting companies that openly share their practices honors both our right to knowledge and the rights of distant workers whose labor makes our consumption possible.
