Uzbekistan is the second largest exporter of cotton in the world, selling over 800,000 tonnes of cotton every year. Europe is its major buyer.
But while the former Soviet Republic is at the forefront of global cotton production, its human rights and environmental record lags far behind the rest of the world. Forced child labour, human rights violations, excessive pesticide use, the draining of an ocean and severe poverty are all rife in cotton production in Uzbekistan.

  • @aquibmsa It's fine, but I don't know how much a person can change in 8 months.

  • @darkanimefreak1510 Sorry, homie. I used to be a flamebaiter. I believe it was ignorant and very idiotic of my old self to say that. If it makes you feel better, I stopped purchasing Aeropastale shit.

  • @aquibmsa Wow, have you actually ever been there and seen the cruelty? I'm from there, so please keep your ignorance and idiocy to yourself.

  • I feel sad for all this children. children should be in school. School should not be closed just to ensure children will work.

  • BUT I LOVE MY AEROPASTALE LOLOLOLOL
