NEW YORK - A collection of non-profit organisations, civil society groups and textile industry watchdogs have joined together to urge governments around the world to implement bans of imports made using forced labour.
More than 40 groups including members of the Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region, the Coalition Against Forced Labour in Trade, and the Cotton Campaign, have written to governments in the European Union, UK, Australia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and other regions calling on them to act immediately to end corporate complicity in forced labour, including state-imposed forced labour such as China's Xinjiang region and Turkmenistan.
