 * =There was a Campaign against Stopping child labor from picking cotton.The government in Uzbekistan are forceing children ut of school to pick cotton. Over 65 of the largest appearal companies have made policies against cotton picking for children and the only silent ones is Abercrombie and Gymboree. They refuse to speak out against force child labor. =
 * = Uzbekistan: Have children working to harvest the cotton. Schools are emptied in central Asia due to the children work. The cotton Industry is a big business controlled by the country's and i quote "brutal authoritarian regime". President Islam Karimov doesnt like all the publicity they are getting from force child labor that they do not allow Journalist to come and ask questions. They have killed over 100 demonstrators who oppossed the cotton picking and even boiled a demonstrator alive. =

 * =** I think abercrombie & Fitch is a bad company. They are allowing children get out of school to pick cotton so i can wear a shirt.I would like these kids to get an education and be able to buy some of the clothes they used to make. I think changes should be made to the way they get there raw materials and make shure to source were they got the material. As of now ABERCROMBIE!!! UR DEAD TOO MEE!!!!!! :D **=
