📢The #EU #ForcedLabourRegulation reached a deal this morning, and we are one step closer to a world without slavery. We are thrilled to see the Regulation pass this milestone vote, as it's essential to ensuring that goods made with forced labour cannot be traded on the EU market

Major victory for people & planet! 🎉

Concluding a week of successful strategy & stakeholder meetings in Washington, DC with great energy and enthusiasm for the work ahead—to make further labor rights gains in #UzbekCotton & end #StateImposedForcedLabor in #Turkmenistan. It won’t be easy, but we’re firmly committed!

THREAD: UK BUSINESSES 🧵
Did you know that here in the UK, many of the products we use every day depend on #ForcedLabour?⚠️
Yes, in nearly every country, people are pushed into forced labour to make our cotton, coffee, make-up, mobile phones and more.

The Chinese gov. has detained 1mil Uyghur+other Turkic +Muslim-majority peoples.
#ForcedLabour is a key part of their system of control. Companies are profiting from this #ModernSlavery.
