Many fashion brands like Next in the UK are at HIGH RISK of being linked to #Uyghurforcedlabour. The UK govt can change this by introducing a robust import ban and stop the UK from becoming a dumping ground for forced labour goods. Send a message to UK policymakers now.

1/2 SHEIN is one of the worst fast fashion offenders, tangled up in so many abuses, including #Uyghurforcedlabour, worker exploitation, overconsumption, & environmental harm. DESPITE all this, Shein is shamelessly going on with business as usual.

.SHEIN recently published its sustainability report - admitting to finding cases of child labour in its supply chain, BUT stays silent on #Uyghurforcedlabour. What's Shein hiding? Shein can’t keep ignoring serious concerns around Uyghur forced labour.

Nearly two years ago, UN Human Rights released a damning report on Xinjiang. The Chinese government continues to commit crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims. Robust follow-up on the UN report is needed. bit.ly/3YYoOO7
