My Cotton Picking Life - Game The News. How long will you spend picking cotton in this exploration of child labor in Uzbekistan? This game comes originally from a news article on the Guardian website that reported on the scandal of cotton picking by kids in Uzbekistan that are used to make clothes, supplied to people in the west. This is about forced labor – the kids are taken out of school and forced to work: Uzbekistan, one of the world’s largest exporters of cotton, forces adults and children as young as nine to pick cotton under what the charity Anti-Slavery International describes as “appalling conditions”.

The kids are given quotas per day to meet (up to 50kg) and if they don’t meet these can be punished. The government of Uzbekistan closes down schools across the country and children, teachers and other workers are forced to work on the cotton fields with little or no pay.
