End Uyghur Forced Labour in China Now
The Chinese government subjects Uyghurs to systematic forced labour.
Companies around the world are complicit.
The Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region
We are a coalition of civil society organisations and trade unions united to end state-sponsored forced labour and other egregious human rights abuses against people from the Uyghur Region in China, known to local people as East Turkistan.
We are calling on leading companies to ensure that they are not supporting or benefiting from the pervasive and extensive forced labour of the Uyghur population and other Turkic and Muslim-majority peoples, perpetrated by the Chinese government.

10%

14

Our Call to Action
We are calling on all companies to exit the Uyghur Region at every level of their supply chain, from raw materials to finished products, to prevent the use of forced labour of Uyghurs and other groups in other facilities, and to end relationships with suppliers supporting the forced labour system. Companies must take each of these steps in order to fulfil their corporate responsibility obligations to respect human rights as defined in international principles such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Organisations that wish to become endorsers of the Call to Action are welcome to do so by filling this form.
Companies that wish to make the commitments outlined in our Call to Action should e-mail [email protected]
Individuals are encouraged to sign this petition.
