Environmental Justice Foundation is urging on governments, retailers, buyers and consumers to refuse to buy cotton sold by Uzbekistan produced by forced labour at devastating environmental cost.
The True Cost of Cotton exposes billion dollar industry causing environmental damage and human rights abuses in Central Asia, mainly to supply European demand.
Detailed investigations by the EJF expose the use of cotton revenues in Uzbekistan to support a corrupt and coercive dictatorship.
The report highlights the extensive use of child labour and disastrous mismanagement of water resources, leading to environmental crises and regional conflict.
