3/7/2019

 
Picture
In testimony provided to the Solidarity Center by Bangladesh garment workers and union leaders, a pattern emerges in which women seeking to form unions or engage in collective action are especially targeted with actions to degrade, demean and intimidate them, and some have suffered physical attacks and rape. “As we try to form unions, management is hostile against us,” says one garment worker. "They threaten me that, what if someone stops me in the road, what can I do as a woman?” Find out more at the Solidarity Center.
