World Consumer Rights Day

Every year on March 15 the consumer movement celebrates World Consumer Rights Day (WCRD), raising global awareness of consumer rights, consumer protection and empowerment. Consumers International is proud and privileged to coordinate this day of global collaboration, with 200 consumer advocacy members in over 100 countries.  

The WCRD 2023 theme will be: Empowering Consumers Through Clean Energy Transitions. Amidst the greatest cost-of-living crisis in a generation and as the energy world drastically responds to supply and climate issues, Consumers International seeks to play a role in delivering a just transition for consumers.  

Consumers International seeks to build on the success of its 2022 campaign where 90+ CI Members carried out diverse campaigns to promote Fair Digital Finance, sharing its message with millions of consumers worldwide. That initiative brought together over 600 business, government, regulator and consumer advocacy participants at CI’s Fair Digital Finance Forum – the largest ever consumer focussed dialogue on the issue.
