  • GoodWeave International, formerly known as 'Rugmark<https://rugmarkindia.de/>, is a network of non-profit organizations dedicated to ending illegal child labour in the rug making industry.

It is an example of a product-oriented multistakeholder governance group. Nina Smith, Executive Director of GoodWeave International explains: I got involved in the movement to end child slavery because of a boy named Iqbal Masih. Iqbal was a carpet slave at the age of four and escaped servitude at 10. (...) Upon his return to Pakistan, Iqbal’s life was tragically cut short: he was murdered for his activism. His death helped to inspire the birth of GoodWeave (then RugMark). I read Iqbal’s story in a Vanity Fair feature after his death and realized the work that needed to be done in his memory. (en)
