consumer movement

The consumer movement is a social and economic effort aimed at protecting and empowering buyers of goods and services. It advocates for fair treatment, truthful information, and safe products, encouraging consumers to be informed and assert their rights. Originating in the early 20th century, it challenges unfair business practices and promotes consumer awareness. The movement supports regulations and organizations that improve product quality, prevent fraud, and ensure accountability, helping consumers make safer, better-informed choices in the marketplace. Ultimately, it seeks to create a more balanced relationship between consumers and producers.
