The push for banning Shein's advertising on Transport for London (TfL) stems from serious concerns over the company's human rights practices, particularly regarding forced labour allegations. While Shein denies these claims, stating adherence to strict guidelines against forced labour, London Assembly member Caroline Russell criticized TfL for prioritizing profits over human rights, especially in light of Shein's refusal to clarify sourcing practices from the controversial Xinjiang region. The situation intensifies with the 'Stop Uyghur Genocide' group's legal actions to halt Shein's IPO in London.
The mayor's office referred the BBC to TfL, which stated it would respond to London Assembly Green group leader Caroline Russell's concerns regarding Shein's advertising.
Russell indicated that Shein representatives displayed 'wilful ignorance' by failing to answer questions on labour standards during a parliamentary committee inquiry.
