Fair World Marketplace was a fair trade store (a Ten Thousand Villages partner store) located in Syracuse/DeWitt, New York. Over seven years, sales from this store provided more than $250,000 in income for artisan and farmer co-ops throughout the world. Declining sales following the 2008 recession forced the store's closure in 2011.
Father Shay Cullen does a good job in the New York Times of summarizing how fair trade effects women in particular. A good read for International Women's Day
