👡 Fast on fashion... ♀️ Slow on gender equality? 🥻 The clothes industry employs around 48 million women around the world. 🤔 But research shows that top fashion brands are failing to support them – in boardrooms and factories. Here's why. 🧵 #IWD2022

Fashion brands and retailers rely on @BCIcotton to source sustainable and ethical cotton - yet it may be tainted by cotton made with #Uyghurforcedlabour. @BCIcotton, will you take action against Luthai, Huafu, & Texhong to end #forcedlabourfashion?

Outraged at the political games being played in Council today on due diligence. Flagrant disregard for the European Parliament. Member States need to get their act together because time is running out. Press conference at 4pm. multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstreamin…

End Forced Labour Fashion (@forcdlabourfash) 's Twitter Profile Photo

So accurate. Fast fashion brands are trying to push new looks for low prices BUT are dead silent about #whomadeyourclothes & under what conditions. We DO worry about it. Xiemu AKA SHEIN & Temu are at high risk of #Uyghurforcedlabour & terrible working conditions.
