Pledge Remains in Place and a Path Forward - Uzbekistan is a country in transition.

Since 2010, Uzbek Forum for Human Rights, the Cotton Campaign’s frontline partner, has monitored the harvest each year. Uzbek Forum works with a network of independent and trained monitors. They are highly skilled in monitoring labor and human rights issues and have a wide range of contacts in rural communities. Their monitoring is in-depth, using mixed methods and focusing on root causes/drivers of forced labor and exploitative working conditions. Every year, Uzbek Forum conducts interviews with cotton pickers, farmers, local government officials, and employees of (state) organizations directly involved in the cotton harvest, and collects and analyzes information received through media and social media. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/0d5e443d-a6ab-4e7f-9db2-ecec371ab908/image-asset.png Uzbekistan - In 2009, Uzbek civil society activists launched a petition calling on international stakeholders to boycott forced labor Uzbek cotton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/71dcbb52-5fc8-48e1-8288-975807aaa224/HughWilliamsonHRWQuote.png Uzbekistan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/3e3a53b4-f7da-4d3a-b4f8-ad6f85fd80ed/UmidaNiyazovaUzbekForumQuote.png Uzbekistan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/3c0c5026-a5bf-4980-ad97-c335f74c5ebf/Screenshot+2022-04-19+at+14.23.52.png Uzbekistan - Make it stand out Download two pager Download full paper Contact the Cotton Campaign to learn more https://www.cottoncampaign.org/cotton-campaign-in-turkmenistan daily 0.75 2022-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/0e52b075-59ef-4ec9-8331-4d76c2b834aa/Ruslan_video_statement_2017.png Cotton Campaign's Work on Turkmenistan September 2017: At the OSCE Human Dimension Implementation Meeting, the Director of Turkmen News exposes abuses by the Turkmen Government against Turkmen civil society activists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/9a6655d8-7dce-4bca-a703-0c2e0b458dd2/CC+cotton+pledge+detail+3.png Cotton Campaign's Work on Turkmenistan May 2018: As a result of a submission submitted by the Cotton Campaign two years earlier, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issues a Withhold Release Order (WRO) against cotton originating in Turkmenistan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/49026fca-6500-4f47-888f-21326e2365a8/FreeGaspar2.jpg Cotton Campaign's Work on Turkmenistan October 2018 (1/2): Cotton Campaign protest at United Nations in New York, calling on the Turkmen Government to end forced labor and release activist Gaspar Matalaev. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/a4ec6203-fa51-44d3-b810-92577485fd5f/FreeGaspar1.jpg Cotton Campaign's Work on Turkmenistan October 2018 (2/2) 84,000 call on the Turkmen Government to immediately release of Gaspar Matalaev, who was arrested for monitoring and reporting on the systematic use of forced adult and child labor in Turkmenistan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/62a8a91e-a9e9-41a3-927e-915ca701bb28/Screenshot+2022-02-13+at+18.30.35.png Cotton Campaign's Work on Turkmenistan October 2018: Adidas, H&M, and Gap are among the first 12 brands and retailers to sign the Turkmen Cotton Pledge and commit to not source cotton from Turkmenistan until forced labor in its cotton sector has been eliminated.

Make it stand out Data caveat: UN Comtrade, 2022 data: HS codes 5201 for “cotton”, 5205 for “yarn”; 5208 and 5209 in aggregate for “fabric”, and 610510, 610910, 620130, 620112, 620192, 620130, 630221, 630231, 630251, and 630492 in aggregate for “finished goods”. In UN Comtrade, there is no data available for imports in 2022 of cotton products from Turkmenistan into Pakistan. The data presented in the map is based on trade information made available through Panjiva, which is not exhaustive. Similarly, there is no data available in UN Comtrade for imports in 2022, of i) cotton products from Turkmenistan into Russia and Belarus, and ii) cotton yarn from Turkmenistan into Italy and Portugal. However, as shown by the Pakistan example noted above, a lack of available data for 2022 does not necessarily mean that imports of cotton products from Turkmenistan have discontinued. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/adc37495-e114-4aad-97d8-be688d52b788/CC_TKM_harvest_report2022_GRAPH%231.png Forced Labor Turkmen Cotton in Global Supply Chains - Make it stand out UN Comtrade, 2020-2021-2022 aggregate data, imports from Turkmenistan, HS codes 5201, 5205, 5208, 5209 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/3d2c1b26-f735-4bd6-a63c-c5af17b71f26/CC_TKM_harvest_report2022_Facilities%231.png Forced Labor Turkmen Cotton in Global Supply Chains - Make it stand out Facilities in Turkey, Open Supply Hub, https://opensupplyhub.org/facilities?countries=TR&sectors=Apparel&sectors=Home%20Textiles&sectors=Textiles (filtering to include only the following sectors: apparel, home textiles, and textiles) [last accessed May 2023]. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618550501fe9be0ff3428860/720d437c-71e2-445b-95d9-04ea8c4e7d29/CC_TKM_harvest_report2022_GRAPH%232.png Forced Labor Turkmen Cotton in Global Supply Chains - Make it stand out UN Comtrade, 2020-2021-2022 aggregate data, imports from Turkmenistan, HS codes 5201, 5205, 5208, 5209.
