Around 90 Uyghur teenage girls are being forced to work at a Chinese-run garment factory in Xinjiang, where they face abuse and work long hours, according to an investigation by Radio Free Asia. The factory has a secret agreement with a nearby vocational school, and parents are pressured not to object to their children's forced labor. The factory workers, who are mostly Uyghurs, are not allowed to leave and are kept in line through verbal and physical abuse. The revelation comes amid increasing scrutiny of forced labor in Xinjiang and its supply chains, with major companies like Zara and Volkswagen being investigated.
