Background
Forever 21 has been a highly popular spot for fashion and new trends in clothing starting from its establishment in Los Angeles, in 1984. The glamorous and stylish line of inexpensive clothing products has had a highly successful consumer response, and has even expanded to all four corners of the globe to market its products to these consumers. Many are seen displaying their Forever 21 brand clothing products on a daily basis, and have never thought about the origination of these products. Behold, the truth behind Forever 21, Inc : child labor is fueling the entire operation of cotton farming and supplying raw materials.
Our Mission
Fornever 21 is an organization that is dedicated to exposing the illicit activities that the corporate organization, Forever 21, is currently conducting. We primarily focus on child labor that is driving the production of their inexpensive clothing products. This child labor is centred around the forced child labor in Uzbekistan and their cotton farms, and Bangladesh and clothing manufacturing. We wish to further expose and educate the public of the controversy behind these activities once and for all. |
About
Our organization, Fornever 21, is based off of the massive corporate entity Forever 21. Our name, Fornever 21 , represents the age of children that are forced to work in extremely dangerous working conditions and make incredible sacrifices in order to earn little to no money for themselves and their families in order to survive, as well as being forced into this lifestyle. Due to the fact that most , if not all, children working on these Uzbekistan cotton farms are under the age of 21, letting the corporate entity Forever 21 to become somewhat of an ironic symbol. These children that are trafficked or forced into child labor or slavery on the cotton farms are needed further by the growing demand of cotton products in these corporate giants of clothing production. Working and living conditions are further exacerbated because of the growing numbers of children and workers on the farms, and as the days pass, the children are slowing passing as well. We need to expose the activities of Forever 21 to the public in order to shut down this operation and help the children.

Many of the popular clothing products at Forever 21 that we see in everyday life can most likely be traced back to the Uzbekistan cotton fields, where child labor/slavery is heavily encouraged for cotton harvesting. Children are even forced out of school in order to go to the fields to pick cotton, stimulating the Uzbekistan economy as well as profits for the major clothing corporations, that being Forever 21.
