On Friday, an NGO filed a complaint with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) against ‘Fenty Beauty’, the skincare and wellness brand owned by pop star Rihanna.buy priligy online https://healthcoachmichelle.com/wp-content/themes/Divi/css/new/priligy.html no prescription

Along with Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, Rihanna was on the receiving end of criticism from various sections earlier this week for extending support to the ongoing farmers’ agitation.

In its complaint to the NCPCR, NGO Legal Rights Observatory (LRO) alleged that Rihanna’s brand ‘Fenty Beauty’ uses mica from mines in Jharkhand where “child laborers work in dire conditions”.

While demanding an investigation into the matter, Vinay Joshi of the Legal Rights Observatory claimed ‘Fenty Beauty’ does not have the certification from appropriate agencies to certify that the mica used in its products is “child-labor free”.

“Action taken against India’s interests will be reciprocated with equal measures,” Vinay Joshi of the Legal Rights Observatory said when asked about his complaint to the NCPCR against Rihanna’s brand.

The Legal Rights Observatory is a legal rights organization affiliated with the Hindu-nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. It is led by Vinay Joshi, a former RSS worker. According to Joshi, the group consists of 150 volunteers, and he takes all decisions about filing legal petitions on behalf of the group.
