“Sri Lanka uses tax revenue from the textile industry to oppress Tamil civilians and detain them in IDP internment camps,” explained Manivannan. “No Blood For Panties sends the powerful message that buying ‘Made in Sri Lanka’ items and supporting state-sponsored human rights violations is unsexy. It sends the message that being a conscious consumer is where true sexiness is.”
