Workers making clothes for the retail giant Shein work unlawfully long hours and are paid poor wages, an independent research has shown. The company uses cotton from the Xinjiang region, where the Chinese government forces Uyghurs to work, including on cotton plantations. And Shein transfers inventory risks to suppliers, who subsequently dump their leftover products in low-income countries.
The problem is that it’s likely most textile/clothing producers do the same. I’ve given up trying to buy socially responsible, as it is impossible unless you are rich.
