Rana Plaza Never Again

Visit ranaplazaneveragain.org to safely share your messages of commemoratuon during the pandemic and to tell brands that a new international binding safety agreement is needed to prevent something like the Rana Plaza collapse from ever happening again.

The Bangladesh Accord: #ProtectProgress
The Rana Plaza collapse of April 2013 has led to a safety programme in Bangladesh, the Accord on Fire and Building safety, that has made factories safer for over 2 million workers. It is successful because it is binding upon the 200+ brands that are part of the programme. That binding element is now under threat. Brands need to take action to #protectprogress.
Find out more about the Bangladesh Accord, read our Q&A and keep posted for more action opportunities.
Brands must pay a #EuropeFloorWage
Earning a living wage is a human right but garment workers in Europe struggle to make ends meet on their current wages.
We developed a benchmark for living wages in European countries that reflects the reality of garment production in Europe.
