Prohibition of forced labor is regulated by national legislation.

"Forestry workers of Dehqonabad district of Kashkadarya region are forced to pick cotton. Is this correct? If we go to cotton, the trees will be left unattended, the water pipeline may also fail..." an appeal was received.

It was found that E.S and O.B, citizens of Sarchashma MFY Duob village of Dehkhanabad district, who applied through social networks, work as workers in Dehkhanabad state forestry. Workers are paid according to the work they do. Employees are not involved in forced cotton picking.

Also, due to the strong pressure in the water pipe, there are cases of pipe bursting. Pipe ruptures will be removed by the forester in time.

The seedlings in the nursery are in good condition, maintenance is being done constantly. E.S brought the monthly salary by signing the register himself.

When he was interviewed, he stated that he went to the social network due to a disagreement with the workers, and explained his mistake in an explanatory letter.

It is explained to the employees that if they face problems related to forced labor, creation of decent work and rest conditions, they should contact the relevant "hotlines".
