Shein's rapid success is built on a human tragedy. No matter how much the Chinese fast fashion company tries to hide it, countless records and testimonies on the inhumane working conditions at Shein pour in every week.
To produce clothes averaging €9 retail price, Shein relies on workers' exploitation.
Employees sewing for Shein, work about 75 hours a week and have only one day off during the month. They are constantly underpaid and deprived of social protection.
Shein often avoids signing any contracts with its workers at all
The exploitation of workers should be a relic of the past! As socialists and democrats, we're fighting for stricter due diligence checks throughout the supply chain to stop Europe’s complicity in human rights abuses around the world.
We want Europe to ban products made from forced labour from entering the EU market.
