Today seven years ago, the most awful accident of the textile
industry happened at the building Rana Plaza in Bangladesh. The
incident has shown how irresponsible global textile brands are
acting and how important health, safety and social standards are
for workers. In this episode we talk to Wahid Soruar, a PhD student
and social activist from Bangladesh, who has been involved into
direct aid following the accident. In the aftermath he was working
for an organization doing compensation payments and has met through
that many of the workers who survived the accident and their
relatives and is still until today fighting for workers’ rights in
Bangladesh. A topic that seems more current than ever before during
the latest Covid19 developments.
