  • Summary

  • We sit down with Zumretay Arkin, the program and advocacy manager for the World Uyghur Congress about the ongoing conflict in East Turkistan, a region that was forcefully taken over by China in 1884. To this day, many of the Uyghur people living within the Xinjang region have experienced breaches of their human rights at the hands of the Chinese government. Over the past years, reports of millions of Uyghurs being forced into "re-education camps" living in inhumane conditions. There have also been reports of forced sterilisation programs against Uyghur women, and many attempts to eradicate Uyghur culture. Listen now to find out more, and learn about ways you can help.
    More ways to get involved:

    • Contact your favourite apparel companies and demand that they don't manufacture in regions that could be using Uyghur forced labour.
