Ensure workers' safety
Bangladesh earns a huge amount of foreign currency from RMG sector. It contributes around 76 percent to our export earnings and around 15 percent to the GDP. It is also playing an important role in eradicating poverty by employing around 6 million people. Some of the owners, who profit from the hard work of the poor workers, overlook the safety and security of the workers, ignoring the value of their life.
If the perpetrators like Sohel Rana get away with impunity, we will not be able to save this industry and we will have to count dead bodies over and over again. We request the government to ensure safety and security of the workers, so that such tragedy is not repeated and this industry can bounce back.
