Uyghurs, and other Turkic and Muslim-majority peoples have been systematically subjected to forced labour by the Chinese Government, but their struggles don’t often make headlines.

We call for immediate action by home & destination country governments, employers & international institutions to safeguard the rights of migrant workers in all countries affected by the conflict. 1/2

Some in Government insist that modern slavery claims are being used to get in the way of deportation attempts.

This narrative misses that in fact, claims of experiencing modern slavery are met with huge barriers in immigration detention.

UK action has a real global impact and is part of our wider global effort to challenge forced labour wherever it occurs. We must spotlight these abuses and make sure governments and companies cannot ignore Uyghur abuses.

In the UK, these materials risk tainting products we use every day, like cotton in apparel and textile products, quartz and polysilicon in solar panels, and tomatoes in tomato paste.

Raw materials in several sectors have been linked to state-imposed forced labour in the Uyghur region.

International Migrants Day 2025: Inside Lebanon's Kafala System This International Migrants Day, Anti-Slavery International looks at the experiences of migrant workers under the Kafala system in Lebanon.

By failing to ensure that the rights and dignity of migrant workers are guaranteed and respected by employers, these abuses are being enabled.

🔗 To learn more about the experiences of migrant domestic workers under a sponsorship system, read our latest blog: www.antislavery.org/latest/inter...

According to the Coalition on Labour Justice for Migrants in the Gulf, there are 31 million migrant workers in the GCC countries, many of which are exposed to situations of severe exploitation.

Restrictions on freedoms, wage theft and isolation are all realities often faced by migrant workers in countries where sponsorship systems exist, such as in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

Government criticised for inaction on farmworkers abuse Criticism comes after the rejection of various ideas, put forward by its own advisers, on how to protect migrant workers from exploitation

➡️ Increase wages to help prevent exploitation.

No response.

Anti-Slavery International urges the UK Government to back the calls from experts and people affected by the seasonal worker visa and commit to safeguarding workers' welfare and interests through action, not just in principle.

➡️ Guaranteeing at least 2 months’ pay to help prevent workers from falling into debt.

The Government pointed to the Employer Pays Principle as a better route to preventing debt. But Government representatives have already said that they have no plans to implement the Principle.

➡️ Allow a more flexible visa (reducing how long workers have to wait to return to the UK for work)

This would help safeguard workers against harm & prevent debt bondage, but the Government admits immigration rules would make this too hard to go as far as the Migration Advisory Committee recommends.

New article from @tbij.bsky.social details recommendations (made by the Migration Advisory Committee in July 2024) to improve the seasonal worker scheme that the UK Government either rejected or ignored.

Here is a summary of the recommendations and how the UK Government responded:
