Human Rights Movement Silicon Lung Disease

Ethical campaigners recently locked up several clothing brands, including

Dolce &Gabbana

Armani and others launched an activity called "secretmessage".

Jeans

The harm of sandblasting process to human health.


In early June, volunteers from the British pressure group trademark behind the Labour Behind the Label concealed thousands of tags about the message in the pockets behind the jeans sold in British stores to attract more consumers to protest against the deadly jeans.

Sandblasting

The "Killer Jeans" campaign initiated by the process.


The campaign prohibits the use of sandblasting process - high pressure lance to spray silica sand on denim to produce a shabby appearance.


Human rights campaigners say the process will cause workers to breathe sand and dust, thereby causing a potentially fatal lung disease.

Silicosis

It has killed more than 50 sandblasted workers in Turkey, and doctors predict that thousands of people around the world also suffer from the disease.


The campaign launched by the British social movements is targeted at towns in all parts of the United Kingdom. It plans to hold special events in Brandon, Brighton, Bristol (Bristol) and London (London).


So far, 17 international clothing brands and retailers, including Levis, H&M, Matalan and Burberry, have made public statements to ban sandblasting in their global supply chain system.


But social activists are especially concerned about the companies that have not yet publicly issued sandblasting injunctions, such as D&G and Armani.

The spokesman for D&G and Armani did not comment on the report.


Labour BehindtheLabel alliance policy coordinator Samantha Maher said, "even if they know the risks faced by sandblasting workers, these top brands will continue to delay."


"Now it's time for us to deliver this message directly to the consumer. We believe that any production technology should not put workers' lives at risk, and should not pay the cost of life for fashion."
