Juliane Kippenberg @jkippenberg.bsky.social · 02/07/2026The German government yesterday decided to exempt 95% of the companies that are currently covered by the German supply chains law. An affront to workers and communities around the world. And a step back that is problematic legally. tinyurl.com/wxff3efs 099
Juliane Kippenberg @jkippenberg.bsky.social · 02/07/202695 %. Die Bundesregierung will 95 % aller bisher erfassten deutschen Unternehmen vom #Lieferkettengesetz ausnehmen. Ein Schlag ins Gesicht aller Gewerkschaften & Arbeiter*innen weltweit. Und ein Rückschritt, der auch rechtlich problematisch ist. tinyurl.com/wxff3efs 044

Juliane Kippenberg @jkippenberg.bsky.social · 21/10/2025It is Intl Lead Poisoning Prevention Week. Lead is highly toxic, yet millions are exposed to it. One of the most lead-polluted places globally is the city of Kabwe in Zambia. Together w/ the Alliance for #LeadFreeKabwe, we say: only a full cleanup can protect people's rights. tinyurl.com/yey8ymm4 032
Juliane Kippenberg @jkippenberg.bsky.social · 25/09/2025The new rush on minerals carries massive human rights risks and has already caused harm to people and planet. Colombia’s initiative at #UNEA7 is a chance to change course. With 50+ partners, we @hrw.org encourage Colombia to pursue its goal for a global binding agreement on mineral supply chains. 078

Juliane Kippenberg @jkippenberg.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Unakzeptabel: Bundesregierung will dt. Lieferkettengesetz massiv abschwächen + gibt Zivilgesellschaft 24 Std, die Änderungen zu kommentieren! Das neue Gesetz würde DE weiter vom international anerkannten UN-Standard für Wirtschaft & Menschenrechte entfernen. lieferkettengesetz.de/2025/09/01/s... 12010
Juliane Kippenberg @jkippenberg.bsky.social · 11/06/2025It is World Day ag Child Labor. There are 138 million child laborers globally.

Juliane Kippenberg @jkippenberg.bsky.social · 18/03/2025The Zambian govt has allowed harmful mining + removal of lead waste in Kabwe, exposing residents to severe lead pollution. Many children suffer lead poisoning. To protect rights, the govt should enforce Zambian law & fully clean up the mine & its waste. #leadfreekabwe www.hrw.org/news/2025/03... 012
