Forced Labor Watch: A new EU-ILO project is set to tackle child and forced labor in Turkmenistan’s cotton sector, focusing on labor law updates, international standards, and stronger oversight for 2026–2027. Cotton Pressure Point: Rights groups say forced labor in the 2025 harvest worsened again after earlier “small steps,” with public-sector workers reportedly mobilized under penalties. Youth Health & Education: UNFPA held a technical meeting in Ashgabat with Turkmen ministries and educators to strengthen adolescent reproductive health and healthy lifestyle programs in schools. Regional Aid Link: Kazakhstan sent humanitarian aid to Iran by rail via the Turkmen border, including medicines and staple foods—showing how Central Asia’s routes keep moving even amid regional crises. Digital Repression Alert: A Central Asia-wide rights statement warns of expanding online harassment, cyberattacks, and AI-enabled surveillance targeting civil society.
