Situation
Millions of garment workers in the global garment supply chain have not been paid their full wages or have lost their jobs without adequate financial compensation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers are owed between $3.2 and $5.8 Billion (USD) for the first three months of the pandemic alone, by conservative estimates. Workers have been forced to work whilst ill and have said the pandemic is one hundred times worse than the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster, where 1134 workers lost their lives.
Solution
We are campaigning for brands to take meaningful action to reduce the long-term vulnerabilities that garment workers face. Through brand engagement, policy recommendations and public campaigning, we are already putting pressure on brands, but more needs to be done.
