Shit hole country. Added it to the list.
Don't buy clothes made there. You have to send a monetary message to the companies that enable these governments by doing business with them. Money is the only language that anyone in power understands.
Hey, honest question, will an individual purchase being cancelled matter at all? Unless someone is on the board for government policy or maybe if you're like a garment importer or something maybe you can hit em where it hurts but otherwise i feel like this is just some wishful thinking.
As a solitary individual? Not even a little bit. But if enough individuals make a stand, it gets noticed. Without a marketing campaign to raise awareness there wouldn't be a significant impact. But you at least know that you're not personally supporting such behavior. If enough people make a similar decision then it could get some exposure and gain traction. There are a lot of companies I won't do business with because of their ethics. They don't care, but I do. So I guess I'm saying there are two parts to it, your personal choices, and a movement that actually impacts the companies and country. The latter is a full-time job to enact, the former is something you can easily control.
