PRESSURE COMPANIES
Companies do listen to consumers. You can directly engage companies to push them to address forced‑labour risks in their supply chains and end business in the Uyghur Region.
Even when companies stay silent publicly, your pressure still drives internal debate and creates reputational risk.

“As young consumers, we need to question our own roles in [industries’] normalization of exploiting and abusing marginalized groups for commercial gain. While we are not directly contributing to human rights abuses, we continue to support the very system that capitalizes on the injustices faced by the Uyghurs through our own consumption”
— Tasnim Benalla, Co-Executive of Free Uyghur Now
