Podcast appearances and mentions of rana plaza

On 24 April 2013 the eight-story Rana Plaza building in Dhaka Bangladesh collapsed. The owners of a number of garment factories in the building had ignored the most basic safety regulations, and forced workers to keep working when it was clear the walls were cracking. In Bangladesh, workers are paid monthly, at the end of the month. The collapse happened on the 24th, and workers were threatened with non payment of wages, if they didn't enter the clearly unstable building. The confirmed death toll was 1,130. Approximately 2,500 injured people were rescued.Rana Plaza shows how little the fashion brands care about the lives of the workers that produce the clothes that make them insane profits. Guests today are Rupali Akter and Taslima Akter. Rupali is a survivor of the Rana Plazar collapse. She was in the building on the day, and she was buried under the rubble for 17 hours before being rescued. Taslima Akter is a photo journalist and activist. She was onsite in the immediate aftermath, documenting and bearing witness to the horror. Taslima is the Secretary and Rupali is the President of the Bangladesh Garment Workers Solidarity. Taslima is interpreting for Rupali in this interview.This interview was conducted in 2023, during an international solidarity visit to Melbourne to commemorate 10 years since the collapse. Today, 12 years later, not much has changed other than garment workers were instrumental in the self-imposed exile of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2024.

Este jueves 24 de abril se conmemora el día en recuerdo de las y los trabajadores textiles coincidiendo con el Aniversario del Rana Plaza por lo que se celebrarán una serie de iniciativas abiertas al público en Geltoki: un swap party o fiesta de intercambio de ropa y un original desfile realizado con prendas de segunda mano que culminará con una acción visual y musical para rememorar a las personas que sufren las consecuencias de la producción de fast fashion

Eigentlich wollten die Beschäftigten der Textilfabrik Rana Plaza in Bangladesch am Morgen des 24. April 2013 nicht zur Arbeit gehen, denn sie hatten Risse im Gemäuer entdeckt. Aus Angst vor Lohnabzug taten sie es doch, und wenige Stunden später stürzte das Gebäude über ihnen zusammen.

Por Marcella Lorenzon: No episódio 148 conversamos com Marina de Luca, coordenadora do Fashion Revolution Brasil. Discutimos como a moda evoluiu desde o episódio do desabamento do Rana Plaza e para onde estamos indo. Debatemos mudanças de paradigmas, da confecção à compra. Também falamos de lixão do Atacama, modos de pensar e consumir e sobre a Semana Fashion Revolution 2025. E falamos de moda, muita moda. Porque moda importa.Entrevistada Marina de Luca@marinadeluhttps://www.instagram.com/marinadelu?igsh=MWlkaWVtM2p3Mmd4Yw==Fashion Revolution Brasil@fash_rev_brasilhttps://www.instagram.com/fash_rev_brasil?igsh=MW5mZjN0dmI2cGxzNA==Patrocínio: Grupo IESA@grupoiesahttp://www.grupoiesa.com.brTrilha: Sonora Trilhas@sonoratrilhasEdição de áudio e vídeo: Bárbara Saccomori@barbarasaccomori

durée : 00:50:03 - La Terre au carré - par : Mathieu Vidard - Julia Faure est une cheffe d'entreprise engagée contre la fast-fashion. En avril 2013, elle est marquée par l'effondrement de l'immeuble du Rana Plaza, qui a fait plus de 1 000 morts au Bangladesh, une catastrophe qui vient ainsi confirmer l'aberration de ce modèle de production textile. - réalisé par : Jérôme BOULET

Dans le col des T-shirts, accrochée à la ceinture des pantalons ou prise dans les coutures des robes, l'étiquette des vêtements que nous portons dit encore souvent : “Made in Bangladesh”. Longtemps, ça n'a été qu'une simple mention, trois mots qui n'indiquaient rien d'autre qu'une provenance, un pays lointain et mal connu. Le 24 avril 2013, une autre réalité a éclaté au visage du monde lorsque le Rana Plaza, usine de confection qui travaillait pour de grandes marques de vêtements, s'est effondré. Plus de 1138 ouvriers et ouvrières du textile sont morts ce jour-là. Des décombres du Rana Plaza a émergé une prise de conscience, celle que nos vêtements sont bien souvent fabriqués dans des conditions qui ne sont pas dignes. La catastrophe du Rana Plaza est la plus meurtrière qu'ait connu l'industrie de la mode et de l'habillement. Elle a été le déclencheur et puis l'emblème de la lutte pour une industrie de la mode plus juste. Pourtant, dix ans plus tard, on peut très sérieusement se poser la question de savoir si les leçons de ce drame, qui en cachait - en réalité - des dizaines d'autres, ont été tirées ? L'industrie de la mode s'est-elle modifiée ? Les conditions de travail sont-elles meilleures dans les ateliers de confection du Bangladesh et dans le reste du monde ? Le drame du Rana Plaza incarne aussi l'absence de régulation sur la responsabilité qu'on les entreprises sur leurs sous-traitants, notamment en terme de respect des droits humains.

Drip by Drip: Unveiling Fashion's Thirsty Truth – Episode 7: We worked with AGROHO in Bangladesh

Modekonzerne werben mit inklusiven Slogans, aber lassen ihre Ware zu unwürdigen Bedingungen produzieren. Damit sich Textil-Arbeiterinnen dagegen behaupten können, brauchen sie kämpferische Gewerkschaften – und keine Appelle an das Gewissen der Konzerne. Artikel vom 18.

"Bangladesh has come out of a lot of difficulty in the past. Bangladesh is a place of hope, is a place of resilience ... We could again come together as a nation, with the ertailers and the brands supporting us, and make the transformation. It's a huge, huge opportunity."Rousing words from this week's compelling interview with manufacturer Shafiq Hassan, of the Echotex manufacturing facility in Gazipur, Bangladesh.Last year Bangladesh was ranked the third-largest exporter of clothing globally (after China and the European Union) exporting USD $38.4 billion worth of garments. The nation is home to over 40K garment factories of various sizes, and over 4 million garment workers.A decade after Rana Plaza, much progress has been made, including around environmental sustainability. Bangladesh now has 186 LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified factories, and, according to Reuters, lays claim to 9 of world's top 10 'green' garment factories (considering carbon, water and energy footprint, waste, logistics, and using more sustainable materials).Clare interviewed Shafiq in London, in September 2024, a little over month after peaceful students protests in Bangladesh toppled ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, then presiding over an increasingly corrupt and authoritarian regime. Her government's response to the protests - appalling violence - is well documented. This week, a new report by the current interim government, titled Unfolding the Truth, implicates Hasina in as many as 3,500 cases of forced disappearances during her time in office.Warned the Solidarity Centre in August: "The economy of Bangladesh, depends on garment factories, but producers say customers are concerned about violence and disruption." What's more, the previous government's "repression against workers seeking to form and join unions has prevented garment workers from achieving the living wages and safe working conditions they have sought to achieve."So what's next?The Nobel peace laureate and economist Muhammad Yunus (founder of the Grameen bank) is leading the interim/ caretaker government. The factories are back working. Leading facilities like Echotex continue to innovate. What's unfolding is very relevant to the fashion sector, and to all of us who care about ethical production and want to understand the role brands have to play when it comes to what we hope are long term partnerships with suppliers.Can you help us spread the word ?Wardrobe Crisis is an independent production.We don't believe in barriers to entry and are determined to keep this content free.If you value it, please help by sharing your favourite Episodes, and rating / reviewing us in Apple orSpotify.

Capitalism's sacrifice of humanity: An interview series produced for broadcast on Free City Radio by Stefan Christoff in consultation and collaboration with Max Haiven, for broadcast on Free City Radio. This program is the second in a series of 3 interviews that aim to examine contemporary capitalism as dependent on economic models that necessitate large levels of human sacrifice. These programs are supported by the ReImagining Value Action Lab (RiVAL) at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada. A series of voices that speak to both the frontlines of struggles that are confronting the realities of colonial capitalism that speaks to the fact that humans are being rendered up for sacrifice to capitalism. Palestine is an example and also the prison industrial complex. On this edition we speak with scholar Keren Wang, author of "Legal and Rhetorical Foundations of Economic Globalization: An Atlas of Ritual Sacrifice in Late-Capitalism." Keren points to layers of analysis in relation to the world economy today that illustrate the inherently sacrificial nature of capitalism, specifically we speak about the fast fashion industry and the example of the textile industry fires at Rana Plaza in Bangladesh. Also we speak about the ways that the military industrial complex corporations benefit from the brutal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Learn more about Keren's book here: https://www.routledge.com/Legal-and-Rhetorical-Foundations-of-Economic-Globalization-An-Atlas-of-Ritual-Sacrifice-in-Late-Capitalism/Wang/p/book/9780367727826 Accompanying music is by Anarchist Mountains.

A magyar piacra is betörő Primark a ruhaboltok saját márkás teje. Fast fashion, kézzel varrt flitterek, vér és verejték, variációk tudatosságra, és az ikonikus Doktor House adás, amiben valakit majdnem megölt a saját gatyája. Nyald meg a pólód, és megtudod, miből van: a textilipar bugyraiban kalandozunk a legújabb Tyúkólban. Bővebben: 00:00:11 - Minden idők legizgalmasabb Tyúkól adása: videóchaten keresztül veszünk fel. 00:02:16 - A múlt hónapban a magyar piacra is betörő Primark, Shein, Temu, Zara, H&M és társaik. Mi az a fast fashion, és mi vele a baj?  00:02:39 - Primark = saját márkás tej.  00:04:31 - Üzleti modellek, a világot nyomorba taszító logisztikai bravúrok, kényszermunka, naponta akár tízezer (!) új termék egyetlen üzlet kínálatában. Mi az olcsóság és a hatékonyság titka?  00:08:43 - Mindennek ára van. Szakértők, jogvédők kongatják évek, évtizedek óta a vészharangot: ha olcsón vásárolunk, annak valaki más fizeti meg az árát. Divat, mint emberi jogi és feminista ügy. 00:10:34 - Sokan dugják homokba a fejüket, mire elér hozzád az a fekete blúz.  00:13:48 - Temu a Super Bowlon.  00:16:39 - Amikor nem Ausztriából buszoztatják a magyarokat, hanem fordítva. Vásároljunk szart olcsón, együtt! 00:18:44 - Kapszulagardrób-shaming és Émile Zola Rougon-Macquart ciklusa. 00:20:56 - Így marad nyomott az ár: a textilipar gyári munkásai nyolcvan százalékban kiszolgáltatott, kizsákmányolt nők, akik éhbérért dolgoznak. Rana Plaza, kézzel varrt flitterek, vér és verejték. Miért nem tudjuk felfogni a vásárlásaink súlyát?  00:26:59 - Van az az anyagi helyzet, ahol el kell döntened, hogy eszel vagy öltözködsz. Greenwashing. Ghánai tengerparton hesszelő ruhakupacok.  00:28:19 - Nem az alsóbb társadalmi rétegek azok, akik túlvásárolnak, túlfogyasztanak: a középosztályé a választás luxusa. A megfizethetőség és a jóemberség pajzsa mögé is mi bújunk.  00:31:13 - Némi optimizmust csempészünk az adásba. Mi az üdvözítő út? A fast fashion mellett is lehet érvelni. 00:35:38 - A belső gyermeked egy bébifóka. 00:41:05 - Az ikonikus Doktor House adás, amiben valakit majdnem megölt a saját gatyája. Hatalmas pénzek, még hatalmasabb érdekek. 00:43:20 - Nem ám úgy van az, hogy „Made in Europe”!  00:44:04 - Ez nem egy póló. Ez egy életstílus, morális fölény. 00:45:10 - Variációk tudatosságra. Nyald meg a pólód, és megtudod, miből van.  00:48:42 - Tárgyak, amikhez kötődünk, és helyek, amikhez nem. Nóra Korn-pulóvere. Plázába csak füldugóval. Szétrúgott tornacipő lett egy luxusmárka legújabb slágere.  00:51:19 - Drágám, ne haragudj, de szakítanunk kell!  00:54:04 - A következő rész tartalmából.

It's 11 years since the collapse of Rana Plaza, a building in Dhaka, Bangladesh that housed some 5 garment factories. More than 1100 workers died on 24 April 2013 but this was no accident. Workers and in fact, just about every body, knew that the building was unstable. It was built on a pond, without the correct construction permits, extra floors were added to the building illegally, and the heavy equipment associated with the garment industry all meant that the building couldn't hold the weight of its contents.But also, on the day of the collapse, cracks had appeared in the walls of the building, and the other tenants  – banks, small shops, they all closed for the day. But the garment workers were not afforded this basic safety measure. They were forced to work that day on threat of losing an entire months wages. They staged massive protests outside the building, but were eventually forced inside because of the unrelenting poverty that they are subjected to.So Rana Plaza was no accident – it was, it is, Industrial murder. 11 years on, these workers are fighting for an across the board wage increase. Their year long campaign has had some gains. Joining me today to discuss the wage case and the anniversary of Rana Plaza, I am joined by Taslima Akhter.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Fashion Revolution movement, a week-long fashion activism campaign.  The campaign was prompted by the collapse of the Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, killing over a thousand people and injuring around 2,500.  It aims to bring awareness to the way fashion and clothing are created and consumed, promoting sustainability.  Kate ‘Ethically Kate' Hall joined Jack Tame to discuss the campaign and this year's Fashion Revolution Week.  LISTEN ABOVE   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 319 features guests Stella Hertantyo, the co-host of the Conscious Style Podcast, alongside Emily Stochl, the host and creator of Pre-Loved Podcast. Stella also works as writer and communications coordinator, while Emily also works as the Vice President of Advocacy & Community Engagement at Remake. “There are so many painful roots when you look back at the way that certain dyes came about and you know, cotton farming — there are so many different legacies of colonialism that existed and still exist. But I also want to take the word painful out of that sentence and say that we have also learned to acknowledge the roots of sustainability because not all of them have pain at the center. And I think what I've learned with so much interest and joy is the different textile heritages that exist across the continent — from natural dyes to hand looming to the ways that people grow certain crops, and yeah, just different ways of expressing and using textiles as ways to archive and also to preserve culture. And there are so many people that do this incredible work and I think that that is a really, really important acknowledgment that I had to come to realize in my own journey.” -Stella “Labor rights are the foundation of what we know to be fashion activism in general, if we think back to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, which I know that something here in the United States, folks maybe learn about in school. This was another fashion industry-related disaster that led to a swath of movement-building around how we advocate for safer workplaces for people working inside the fashion industry. You know, roots to International Women's Day, roots to some of the labor protections that we know and understand today, like the 40-hour work week. These are all things that if you look at the fashion industry from a history perspective, labor and the fashion industry, it is totally intertwined.” -Emily APRIL THEME — COMING TOGETHER TO BUILD A BETTER FASHION FUTURE Whether it's legislation, science research & innovation, transformation in language, the storytelling tools & platforms in which we use to communicate, the evolution of definitions, the popularization of the second hand economy or labor rights advocacy – so much has changed within the sustainable fashion movement over the last decade.  This week, we really put our new round table format to work. We dissect the sustainable fashion industry through a timeline of events, paying homage to Fashion Revolution Day – a movement that, in conjunction with many others, has brought more mobilization and change to the space. Join the four of us – all podcasters & storytellers – for this expansive breakdown.

 In 2013, Rana Plaza - an eight-storey garment factory collapsed in Bangladesh, killing over 11-hundred people.It's a tragedy that led to a lot of public anger towards the brands that made clothes there. Brands like Zara, Walmart, and Joe Fresh, owned by Loblaw. And at the time, Loblaw promised safe working conditions and fair wages.But ten years later has it followed through on those promises? The Fifth Estate's Mark Kelley tells guest host Daemon Fairless about the investigation.

The 2013 collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory killed 1,134 people and sparked a global outcry around the high human cost of making cheap clothes. The Fifth Estate's Mark Kelley returned to Bangladesh, where he found that promises to improve wages and safety have backslid, including by some Canadian companies.

Es ist April im Jahr 2013. In Bangladesh stürzt ein Gebäudekomplex ein, in dem sich die Textilfabrik «Rana Plaza» befindet. Über 1100 Menschen sterben, über 2400 Menschen werden dabei verletzt. Das Unglück gilt als eines der schlimmsten Industrieunglücke aller Zeiten.Nach dem Unglück werden einige Fabriken in Bangladesh geschlossen, Hunderte müssen renoviert werden – und die internationalen Modemarken versprechen: So etwas soll nie mehr vorkommen.Was hat sich heute, ein Jahrzehnt später, verändert? Wie steht es um die Arbeitsbedingungen in den Textilfabriken in Bangladesh? Und welche Verantwortung haben die grossen Modemarken?Florian Müller, Wirtschaftskorrespondent des «Tages-Anzeigers» und der «Süddeutschen Zeitung» in China, war vor Ort. Im täglichen Podcast «Apropos» berichtet er über seinen Besuch in verschiedenen Textilfabriken und ordnet ein, wo die globale Kleiderindustrie heute steht.

Dans ce nouvel épisode d'Art Eco Vert nous rencontrons Catherine Dauriac, Catherine Dauriac, engagée dans Fashion Revolution France, partage son parcours dans le podcast ArtEcoVert. La mode, selon elle, doit être libre des contraintes du capitalisme, de la publicité, de l'extraction et du profit. Fashion Revolution, lancé en 2013 après l'effondrement du Rana Plaza, est un mouvement mondial pour la transparence et la responsabilité dans l'industrie textile. Catherine souligne l'importance des actions citoyennes, comme la campagne Good Clothes Fair Pay, visant des salaires vitaux. La France, en pointe avec la loi sur le devoir de vigilance, influence l'Europe. Catherine aborde les enjeux réglementaires, l'impact environnemental, et la nécessité d'une approche punitive pour les grandes marques.Vous aimerez les épisodes : #E24 Audrey Millet #E43 Matthieu Ruiz #E40 Stéphanie Colombo #E35 PérégreenArtEcoVert, LE podcast de la couleur végétale

A historiadora Audrey Millet conhece por dentro a indústria da moda, onde começou a carreira para se tornar estilista. Mas quanto mais aprendia sobre os processos de fabricação das roupas, crescia também a necessidade de alertar sobre o lado B do setor: os riscos sanitários e ambientais que, por ora, são menosprezados pelos legisladores mundo afora e pelas próprias marcas. Lúcia Müzell, da RFIO assunto levou a francesa a mudar de rumo: escreveu Le Livre Noir de la Mode (O Livro Negro da Moda, em tradução livre) em 2021, tornou-se pesquisadora em tecnologia na Universidade de Oslo, na Noruega, e no ano passado foi convidada a apresentar no Parlamento Europeu um relatório sobre a toxicidade das roupas que usamos no dia a dia. Na sequência, uma série de testes foram encomendados pela Comissão Europeia.Os resultados começaram a aparecer em dezembro e são preocupantes: uma a cada seis peças importadas da China chega na Europa impregnada de produtos tóxicos em índices superiores aos autorizados no bloco.“Mas, na prática, não aconteceu nada. É muito decepcionante porque sabemos perfeitamente que as roupas, inclusive as roupas íntimas, contêm produtos tóxicos e entre eles agrotóxicos, se consideramos o começo da cadeia, mas também químicos que são adicionados para o transporte, para que elas não criem fungos”, afirma Millet. “Como não comemos as nossas roupas, essa parece ser uma preocupação menor aos olhos da opinião pública, embora esses produtos entrem no nosso corpo pelos nossos poros. As nossas meias ou calcinhas parecem ser menos perigosas do que produtos ultraprocessados ou cheios de antibióticos que nós comemos”, compara.Petróleo na peleUma das principais razões que explicam essa poluição intrínseca das roupas e calçados é que 70% dos tecidos e outros artigos utilizados na sua fabricação são derivados do petróleo. Em 2021, mais de 60 milhões de toneladas de poliéster, o mais comum deles, foram produzidos no mundo, segundo um estudo da Agência Francesa de Meio Ambiente (Ademe) sobre o impacto ambiental da moda.Além disso, outros químicos, como ftalatos e derivados de cloro, são adicionados no procedimento para o conforto dos usuários: evitam manchas, facilitam a lavagem e dispensam o ferro de passar. O problema é que esses compostos podem ser cancerígenos e causar infertilidade – uma consequência, a longo prazo, do efeito perturbador endócrino desses produtos nos mamíferos, inclusive seres humanos. “A alfândega realiza testes nos portos europeus, abrindo um contêiner e analisando uma caixa que chega da China, mas é insuficiente porque os volumes envolvidos são imensos”, aponta a pesquisadora. “O que é interessante é que, há alguns anos, os fiscais exigiram passar a trabalhar com proteções – luvas, máscaras e macacões – porque quando eles abrem as caixas, sai um odor horrível. Esse cheiro, que costumamos chamar de cheiro de novo, é o odor dos produtos químicos.”Outro problema ainda pouco estudado são as nanopartículas presentes nos têxteis: agentes antibacterianos ou fungicidas, de um tamanho 10 mil vezes inferior a um grão de sal. Por isso, no contato com a pele, esses químicos entram na corrente sanguínea dos usuários – além de serem espalhados no meio ambiente quando as peças são lavadas, através da água.Legislação insuficienteNas suas pesquisas, Audrey Millet verificou que os químicos em excesso são encontrados em marcas de todos os preços – e não apenas nas mais baratas, como se poderia imaginar. Desde a tragédia com a fábrica de roupas Rana Plaza em Bangladesh, há quase 11 anos, novas legislações aumentaram a segurança dos trabalhadores nestas usinas de baixo custo e alta produtividade, mas pouco foi feito para aumentar a transparência do processo produtivo das roupas, exportadas para o mundo inteiro. O excesso de produção, motivado pelo consumo também abusivo, despeja todo o ano 100 bilhões de novas peças de vestuário nas lojas.“Não basta gastarmos menos água ou fazermos compostagem do nosso lixo se quisermos promover uma mudança de verdade. Estamos vendo o planeta se alterar, e as roupas, cuja produção consome enormes quantidades de água e de energia, são um bem nada ecológico”, salienta Millet. “Precisamos voltar a consumir volumes mais aceitáveis, mas também olhar melhor as etiquetas do que compramos e preferir as fibras naturais – algo que, hoje, está cada vez mais difícil de encontrar”, lamenta.  Desde 2018, a União Europeia adotou a regulamentação REACH (da sigla em inglês para Registro, Avaliação, Autorização e Restrição de Químicos) que limita a exposição dos consumidores a 33 produtos químicos cancerígenos, tóxicos para a reprodução ou que induzam a mutações genéticas e que podem estar presentes nos têxteis. A norma vale para vestuário e calçados fabricados no bloco ou importados – entretanto, a cadeia é vasta e opaca, com diversas etapas de fabricação que dificultam a rastreabilidade do produto final, sinaliza Catherine Dauriac, presidente da organização Fashion Revolution na França.“Nós esperávamos para o ano passado uma reavaliação dessa lei, que está obsoleta, como vemos com todos esses produtos que continuam passando nas nossas fronteiras – e não só de vestuário, mas também produtos de decoração e tantos outros do nosso cotidiano. Os estudos também mostram que a lista de químicos proibidos é insuficiente”, destaca Dauriac. “Só que nada aconteceu em 2023. Nós e outras organizações vamos continuar acompanhando, porque é um grande problema.”

Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Terry Lipshetz: Welcome to another episode of behind the Headlines, where we feature experts and journalists discussing a variety of topics. I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises and your host in this latest episode, Haley Colombo, reporter for Lee Enterprise's public service journalism team, talks about her story on logo apparel for colleges and the labor that is being used to produce the clothing. Haley, welcome to the program. Hayleigh Colombo: Thanks so much for having me. Terry Lipshetz: Hayleigh, can you provide just an overall synopsis of what this story is about? Because it felt like there was a lot of pieces in it. Hayleigh Colombo: I think it's important for people to know when they go to the university bookstore on football Saturday and they're buying a new T shirt or whatever to represent their favorite team, I think we make a lot of those buying decisions and don't necessarily think about what all went into it. What all went into making that shirt that is now on, the rack at my favorite university and being sold for $30 or whatever. $25. And what all went into it is this incredibly it takes an incredibly complex global labor supply chain to make those clothes, to bring them to consumers. And the reality is that the people who had the hardest job in making that shirt were compensated leap. And often those workers are getting poverty level wages that are hard for them to subsist on in their home countries making the US equivalent of a dollar 2 /hour which is even in countries where it costs less. To live or the expenses are less. It's still not enough for them to have a good life, to have the even calories that they need to subsist on. And there's lots of abuses that take place in these apparel factories, whether it's people not having the right to form a union or, when they try to form a union being retaliative against for that, sexual harassment, wage theft. And our universities, which are some of our most well known brands and most important institutions in this country, they themselves are, profiting off of this system because they earn millions of dollars of royalties from the sale of this gear. So we wanted to kind of delve into the conditions that this year is being made under and delve into what, if anything, universities have done, are doing to ensure that the people who actually make the garments with their logos on it are being treated fairly. Terry Lipshetz: You had an interesting anecdote early in the story about a factory worker from Honduras. Can you talk a little bit about that example that you used about the working conditions and his wages? Hayleigh Colombo: Yeah, absolutely. So I spoke with famous demas Michael Cardona Bar, and he is a worker in a factory that makes Nike gear. so he had recently worked on a University of Arizona alumni t shirt that Nike is selling for or that the university bookstores or retailers are selling for $35. He has to make upwards of works on upwards of, like, 750 to 1000 of those shirts a day, and he makes the equivalent of $97 a week. essentially that shirt, college football fans who are buying that shirt are paying more for it than he makes in a single day. And I think it's important to understand that that wage is not adequate for him to have a middle class lifestyle. He struggles to make ends meet, even though his wife is working. He has two young kids. One of his kids is a little bit younger than one of mine. So we were talking about, you know, he said it's not enough money to maintain his, you know, brands like Nike are profiting handsomely off of the sale of this gear. brands and retailers like the markup on the shirt is about 70%. Meanwhile, workers earn 1% or less of the final cost of the shirt in workers like him. And advocates in this industry, advocates fighting for fair wages, have pointed out that brands and retailers could ensure that workers are being paid fairly. They're profiting handsomely off of it. Terry Lipshetz: Did you get any feedback from apparel companies? Hayleigh Colombo: They largely didn't want to talk about this issue. Nike didn't respond to multiple requests for comment, even, about specific issues that had come up in their other brands that we reached out to. Kind of sent back statements, I would say, about, oh, we care about their treatment of worker. And I don't want to say that they don't, but I think that they don't feel a lot of impetus, apparently, to change the situation. And there are a lot of people suffering under this system. Experts that I talked with, who study the global apparel industry have noted that, in order to pay workers a fair living wage for them, it would really not drastically impact the cost of a t shirt. Even if they pass 100% of the cost on to consumers. It would add, like a dollar or something like that. Obviously, you could debate whether consumers should pay the full cost of doing something like that, or brands and retailers should eat into their profit a little bit to cover that. But it wouldn't be a drastic investment that they would have to make in order to write the ship. Terry Lipshetz: And, there's not really a lot of pressure, it seems, right now, to write that ship. Hayleigh Colombo: There's been kind of waxing and waning pressure over the last several decades. There was in the early 2000s, when after US. Manufacturing of clothing declined, and more and more clothing started being manufactured overseas in these low wage countries, there was a big outcry about how apparel was being made. I don't know if people remember, like, Kathy Lee Gifford got into a lot of hot water back in the day for her clothing brand. And there have been various disasters have happened. Horrible disasters have happened over the years. In 2013, a Bangladesh building collapsed, it's kind of known as the Rana Plaza disaster. And more than 1000 people died, largely garment workers. And it's the worst disaster that the industry has ever known. So when situations like that happen, yes, there's a large outcry, but by and large, obviously there's really not. Consumers are kind of going about their day, consumers are cash strapped as well. I'm in the same way, I'm not trying to pay as much as possible to buy a t shirt. You try to get the best thing you can for the least amount of money to fit in your budget. And I've talked with folks who have said it really shouldn't be on consumers, it should be on the brands and retailers, as well as the large institutional buyers like universities, or like professional sports teams who put that pressure on the brands and retailers to change their practices. Terry Lipshetz: The fact that this story is about universities is interesting because obviously division, one level universities are big money makers with football programs and basketball programs, and it's not professional sports, but there's a lot of money in it, like professional sports, and you get crowds of 60,000, 70,000, 80,000 or more going to football games. So it's a huge industry. But at the same time, many of these large schools are also research universities. They study things like labor practices. And it's kind of an interesting situation. So what kind of responsibility do universities bear here? Hayleigh Colombo: It's so interesting. And one of the reasons why we focused on university gear when this problem exists across all apparel, every time you buy a shirt that insert retailer of your choice, the same issues are at play. The difference with the university apparel is that they are public facing, publicly funded, most of the time, obviously, there's private universities, but publicly funded by taxpayers, institutions of higher learning, where, like you're saying, some of the same institutions that have apparel that's being produced under unfair conditions, those same institutions have professors, there who are studying this issue. Experts have said that, universities do play a big role in trying to correct this. And to their credit, to the extent that anyone has tried to improve this, universities have. And so I talked to university officials too, who are kind of begrudging the fact that people are asking us to do more, but we're really the only folks who are doing anything right. What else can we do? What we discovered is the investment of time. The people who are really engaged in this, it's really not uniform across universities. There's a core group of universities who are really engaged in this work and really seem to care about it, and are trying to, use the leverage that they have. But there's a lot of universities, I would venture to say most based on our research, who don't appear to be engaged in this and are large, but themselves could play a role. Could be another voice asking brand of choice to ensure that workers are paid fairly. Terry Lipshetz: Do sponsorships complicate the issue? Because you have like Nike and Adidas and all these brands will be the official shoe sponsor of such and such college football team or the basketball team or whatever. Are these relationships complicating the issue as well? Hayleigh Colombo: Absolutely they are, because Nike, these other companies, depending on the school, they're paying a million dollars, multiple million dollars every year, in the form of these deals. And that really, I mean they're important business partners of the university. So it's tricky because it's this symbiotic relationship. What's worth more to the university, the deal being in good standing with Nike or appeasing, some students who know activists regarding sweatshop apparel. Terry Lipshetz: Right. You had the interview with the worker from Honduras. You referenced the building collapse in Bangladesh. I know your story references a case in Bangkok, Thailand. Also, you have these factories in so many different countries. Is this complicating the situation as well? Because it's not like everybody is working in the same country and they're all making apparel in one place. So how is that complicating the situation? Hayleigh Colombo: It's incredibly complicated. Honestly, researching this subject, my mind was truly blown about how complex the global supply chain is. I mean thousands of factories are involved. Schools have hundreds of licensees, who each have their own set of factories that they use. So it's really hard to track because it is very hard to know. I spent a lot of time trying to kind of track a specific shirt and find out which factory that shirt was made in. It is so hard to know. It's almost impossible to know. I was going through these importing logs, trying to find these shipments that would give any sort of clue about, okay, this factory had an order that came to the US with Adidas or Nike as the customer and what was in that order? And it'll just say like men's knit tops or something. And it's like, it's very hard to track. Or obviously any shirt that you're buying, it'll say, or piece of apparel that you're buying on the physical tag, it will know made in Honduras, made in Thailand, made in Bangladesh. But it doesn't give any more details, than there's, you know, hundreds, if not more factories in all these countries. So it's just really hard for folks to monitor. It's really hard for universities. I mean universities are not in the business of monitoring factories in Thailand. They're just not. So it's hard to know. And what makes it even more complicated is that brands themselves don't really own their own factories. That's not really a thing. They're all subcontractors. So it's like, okay, these are the hundreds of facilities. That where Nike gear is made. But it's not like these people are employees of Nike or employees of Adidas or Under Armour or whoever. So it makes it really hard to track, and it also makes it really hard for anyone to really, truly accept accountability for what happens in these places. Because the university can say, like, well, this was the brand that we worked with. And the brand can say, well, this is the Subcontractor that we use. and sometimes those subcontractors are their subcontracting out to other factories. So in the case of the Rana Plaza disaster, for instance, some brands were surprised that their gear was being made there. There was like, tags in the rubble and just some horrifying images where you would see this gear, this shirt was made there. And the brands themselves didn't even know because that was a, Subcontractor. Subcontractor was sewing the sleeves or something. And there's just tremendous, with an industry that fragmented, there's tremendous pressure on the factories themselves to have labor costs as low as possible. Terry Lipshetz: I mean, you don't want to provide excuses for businesses, but in some ways, it's also difficult for them. They can claim like, well, we hired the Subcontractor and they say, we're operating on the up and up. But if they're not doing it because they're not employees of these manufacturers, then it is tougher for them to monitor too. Hayleigh Colombo: Right? Absolutely, it absolutely is. I think that, advocates would say, well, yeah, it is tough, but it's also brands and retailers who have chosen to organize themselves this way, to chosen to use Subcontractors that they don't track very well. All of this is a choice, and it's a choice that's being made in search of higher and higher profits. Terry Lipshetz: So what's next? Are you going to continue looking at this story? Are there other angles that you're pursuing? Hayleigh Colombo: I hope so. Honestly, it's been so fascinating. It's really been so fascinating. I definitely want to keep reporting on it. I think that it's fascinating to see what, if any, solutions people have come up with. So one really fascinating past solution was that there was a fair trade university logo factory. It's called alta gracias in the Dominican Republic. And universities, for a time being, when Alta Gracia was up and running, they would have displays in the store like, okay, all these people are, earning fair wages. They were like, on average, three times the minimum wage or something like that. They had union collective bargaining rights, they were working in good conditions. And that factory unfortunately, closed after COVID. And so what other that was obviously such a creative solution that it was kind of a private sector solution. And it did appear to make a difference, or at least show that this model could work. it successfully worked for many years, but the COVID pandemic was kind of the nail in the coffin there. In the past, there was an effort to have something called a designated suppliers program where it would really clamp down on the number of factories that did produce university logo gear so that the universities could have a really strong oversight of those factories and what went on there. And that was the solution that a lot of the really involved universities were really hoping for, but that ran into some US. Antitrust issues and never came to fruition. So what's the next, private sector creative solution? Is there government is there ever going to be government intervention to solve this problem, or is this just a problem that we've accepted as a society as kind of the cost of doing business? I hope not, because in the reporting, it became very clear to me people are really suffering for something, as simple as us being like, oh, yeah, I'll pick up a new t shirt, like a new alma mater T shirt. Like, there's really like, there's people who are behind that who are not living good lives, and that doesn't have to be true. Terry Lipshetz: Well, on that note, Haley, appreciate you coming on today to talk about this and certainly going to think a little bit differently the next time I pick up local apparel from either a, pro or college team. And it does give me something to think about. Hayleigh Colombo: Absolutely. Thanks so much, Terry. Terry Lipshetz: We hope you enjoyed this latest episode of behind the Headlines.

In April 2013, Rana Plaza, an eight-storey building on the outskirts of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, collapsed. More than 1,000 people died and many others were injured. The building contained five garment factories which manufactured clothes for well-known international brands. It was the worst industrial disaster in Bangladesh's history. Parul Akhter, a sewing machinist who survived the collapse, talks to Dan Hardoon. (Photo: An injured victim of the Rana Plaza disaster at the site. Credit: Getty Images)

We have reached the 100th episode of the podcast! For the past 100 episodes, at the end of each episode we have asked our guests the same question: What would a better future for fashion look like, to you? This question is important, because it sums up exactly why the podcast exists in the first place — to unpack exactly what it will take to cultivate a sustainable and equitable future for fashion.To celebrate this 100 episode milestone, we decided to mark the occasion by sharing a montage of some of our favorite answers, from guests we have had on the show, over the years. Plus, we are sharing a few listener answers to this question too. And, right at the end, we'll share our reflections on the topic as well. Enjoy listening to these visionary — yet practical — answers. Hopefully they'll give you some food for thought and reflection points for your own relationship with fashion. And thank you for tuning in to celebrate 100 episodes with us!***MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Podcast Episode: EP10: Building a Better Secondhand Fashion System with Emily StochlPodcast Episode: EP82: Rana Plaza 10 Years Later: What's Changed and What Hasn't?

In this episode, Head of Knowledge Exchange at the Centre for Sustainable Fashion Monica Buchan-Ng speaks with PUMA's Chief Sourcing Officer, Anne-Laure Descours about factory worker's working conditions in the textile industry. They also discuss what progress has been made since the tragic incident at Rana Plaza ten years ago.—------PUMA has ten target areas, each with a set of goals, that we are striving to reach by 2025. This episode focuses on the target area of Health and Safety.Ensuring safe working conditions for our own employees and hundreds of thousands of indirect employees at our manufacturing partners is an ethical imperative, but also makes good business sense.What it actually means: A safe workplace is a top priority at PUMA and we continuously carry out building safety inspections among high-risk factories in our supply chain. In 2021 we were able to conduct the structural/fire/electrical safety inspection at three suppliers from Pakistan and India. At the headquarters level, we operate an occupational health and safety committee, which includes a specialised labour physician, a health and safety technician and employee representatives.Goal 1: Zero fatal accidents (PUMA and suppliers)In 2022 we recorded two factory employee deaths resulting from work-related accidents in Bangladesh in two different factories. Both factories paid the legal compensation to the worker's family. PUMA collaborated with Better Work Bangladesh for joint monitoring and regular follow up on the actions taken to prevent future occurrence of such accidents. We deeply regret these tragic accidents.Goal 2: Reduce accident rate to 0.5 (PUMA and suppliers)As we believe that the health and safety of the people working for PUMA and in PUMA production always come first, we will continue to work with our own entities and suppliers to avoid disease and accidents.Goal 3: Building safety policy operational in all high-risk countriesFrom 2015 to the end of 2022, our Building Safety Assessment Program covered Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Pakistan.PUMA publishes all of its progress, challenges and setbacks in its Sustainability Report. You can find the 2022 report online now by going to about.puma.com

Many Western fashion brands source garments from Bangladesh, a country with a long history of producing affordable clothing. The industry suffered a devastating disaster in 2013 when the eight-storey Rana Plaza factory building near Dhaka collapsed, costing the lives of more than 1100 workers. Ten years on, Bangladesh has tried to reinvent its image: it has brought in safer working conditions and is positioning itself as a sustainable green textile producer. Despite the extra costs of becoming more environmentally friendly, the clothes Bangladesh exports remain surprisingly affordable. Fashion, film producer and workers' rights campaigner Sheemtana Shameem asks how this is possible?

When we talk about sustainable and ethical fashion, we often think about the future — at least I do: we ask every guest that comes onto this show what a better future for fashion looks like to them! But I also see immense value in looking to the past. To see where we came from so we understand how we got here and what solutions could actually be effective in bringing about change.So I was intrigued to read the book Worn, A People's History of Clothing, (bookshop affiliate link) to understand this history more deeply — and it did not disappoint. I learned so much from this book and I knew I had to get the author, Sofi Thanhauser (@Yesfutureyes) onto the podcast. And here we are today, Sofi is joining me to talk about some of the key themes covered in the book: like how the industrial revolution spurred mass-production in fashion — and not just from the standpoint of technology — how the rise of advertising helped enable the rise of fast fashion, the toxic shocking history of rayon, the factors that enabled synthetics to dominate garment production, and what we can learn from successful labor movements as we advocate for change in the fashion industry.This season of the podcast is focused on fashion's role in our climate crisis, but we don't take a super narrow view of that theme and I think this episode shows a lot of the overlaps between workers in fashion and the industry's environmental impacts. We see how lack of worker rights and low wages connects to overproduction, how lack of worker safety is connected to the continued production of toxic synthetic materials, how advertising covers up the realities of how our clothes are made and enables fast fashion to continue to thrive.***We also will be continuing our Green or Greenwashing ending segment in this episode. This week Stella and I will discuss our thoughts on the trend of climate-change ready clothing — do we really need clothes that are, quote: designed for the apocalypse? Are they filling a need or just getting us to buy more stuff. Stay tuned until the end to hear our thoughts on that. *****EPISODE SPONSORS:Brook ThereBrook There creates organic cotton bralettes, underwear, and slip dresses ethically cut and sewn by their team in Massachusetts.

Ten years ago this month, much attention turned to the global garment industry when a group of garment factories collapsed at Rana Plaza near Dhaka, Bangladesh. The accident, called a “mass industrial homicide” by unions in Bangladesh, killed 1,124 people and injured at least 2,500 more. Most of the people who went to work that day were young women, almost all were supporting families with their wages and all were at the bottom of the global production chain.We feature an episode from our colleagues of the series Don't Call Me Resilient, to look back at the Rana Plaza disaster to explore how much — or how little — has changed for garment worker conditions since.Featuring Dina Siddiqi, Clinical Associate Professor of Liberal Studies at New York University in the US, and Minh-Ha T.

Ten years ago, the devastating Rana Plaza collapse in Dhaka proved just how deadly the business of making clothes could be for marginalised garment workers. In countries like Bangladesh where cheap clothing is produced at high volume, and wages are kept low, it's these workers - mostly young women - who face the greatest exploitation and vulnerability.As a result, a new consumer movement was born in the form of Fashion Revolution. New agreements, like what's now known as the International Accord and Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry, were developed. Supply chain transparency became a buzz phrase. We'd entered a new era of scrutiny, spotlighting working conditions, poverty wages and brands that failed to do the right thing. So far so good, but today the power imbalances persist between brands and suppliers that result in unfair purchasing practices persist, the right to unionise is by no means universally upheld and almost no big brands pay a living wage.Events commemorating the disaster's anniversary went hard on the hashtag, #ranaplazaneveragain - but how much has really changed since 2013? Are factories everywhere safer? How about fairer? To what extent has fashion production really become more ethical?You're going to hear from three people who spend their days advocating for a better deal for garment workers:TAMAZER AMED is ActionAid Bangladesh's lead for Women's Rights & Gender Equity.SARAH KNOP is Baptist World Aid Australia's Advocacy Manager.NAYEEM EMRAN is Oxfam Australia's Economic Justice Strategic Lead.Check the shownotes for links and further reading.Value the show?

On April 23, 2013, a group of garment factories collapsed in Rana Plaza near Dhaka, Bangladesh. The accident killed more than 1,100 people and injured at least 2,500. It's considered the deadliest accident in the history of the modern garment industry.It's been a decade, but the garment industry is still far from safe for workers. Factories like the one in Rana Plaza aren't unique to Bangladesh. And safety for these workers is not just an issue overseas. We discuss what's changed in the decade since the Rana Plaza collapse.

Labour rights activist Kalpona Akter and chief sustainability correspondent Sarah Kent reflect on where the industry stands a decade after the deadly factory collapse. Background:Ten years ago this week an eight-storey factory complex in an industrial suburb of Dhaka, Bangladesh collapsed, killing more than 1,100 people and injuring thousands of others.The Rana Plaza disaster ranks as one of the worst industrial disasters on record. It shook the fashion industry, shining a spotlight on critical safety failings in major brands' supply chains. In its wake, hundreds of brands signed a groundbreaking safety agreement that helped improve conditions in thousands of factories in Bangladesh, but elsewhere little has changed.This week on the BoF Podcast, labour rights activist and founder of the Bangladesh Centre for Workers Solidarity Kalpona Akter reflects on where the industry stands a decade later, while BoF's Imran Amed and chief sustainability correspondent Sarah Kent discuss what still needs to change. “If you ask me then, ‘what did you achieve in the last ten years?' I can say then only the improvement of safety,” says Akter. “The other areas of workers' rights, like wages, it is still poor.”Key Insights:Fashion remains a dangerous business, with hundreds of people killed and injured in its manufacturing supply chain every year. “You see fires, electrical safety issues, issues around the handling of toxic chemicals, issues with unsafe boilers, really serious incidents that lead to injury and death on a regular basis,” says Kent. Efforts to address dangerous working conditions have been undercut by relentless demand for faster, cheaper fashion. “[It] leads to this race to the bottom, where manufacturers get squeezed and then start to cut corners in different places, from safety to wages to worker well-being. That is a huge systemic macro problem,” says Kent.Consumers have the power to make a big difference by letting companies know they care about how the people who make their clothes are treated. “When they're in the store, if they can go beyond size, colour, style and price and start asking questions from the store managers… I think that would start ringing the bell in bosses' offices,” says Akter.Additional Resources:How to Avoid Another Rana Plaza | Case Study: In the wake of 2013′s deadly factory collapse in Dhaka, more than 200 brands signed the Bangladesh Accord.

Namza Akter remembers being on her way to her office in Dhaka when she heard about the 8:57 a.m. collapse of Rana Plaza. Before the workers rights activist and Bangladeshi Awaj Foundation founder learned there were more than 3,000 workers inside, more than a third of whom would be found dead in the rubble, her first thought went to news reports from the day before about factory workers complaining about cracks in the building, she told attendees at the Sourcing Journal Sustainability Summit. Many of the workers told management they did not feel safe going back to work, but were told if they didn't they wouldn't be paid for the entire month, meaning the previous 23 days of labor would have been all for naught. “There was a large shipment, a political strike, so the factory manufacturers told them if they do not go for work they will not get salary. They had four days until the end of the month, so they didn't have the option, didn't have the choice," said Akter.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

France's pioneering 2017 law that made French-based multinational companies responsible for human rights and environmental violations wherever they do business. Also, a Franco-Vietnamese theatre director brings Vietnamese history to life on stage. And the first same-sex marriage remembered 10 years after it became legal. The collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory in Bangladesh a decade ago led to France passing a duty of care law in 2017, making French-headquartered multinationals responsible for human rights violations and environmental damages throughout the supply chain. Nayla Ajaltouni (@naylaajaltouni) of the collective Éthique sur l'étiquette says the French initiative has helped spur on a similar law at the European level, but feels the business-friendly Macron government is not as ambitious as it should be in ensuring labour and human rights come before business as usual. (Listen @2'08'')  Franco-Vietnamese activist Tran To Nga has spent years pushing for the chemical companies that produced Agent Orange – a herbicide used by the United States during the Vietnam war that caused cancers and birth defects – to be held responsible in French courts. Director Marine Bachelot-Nguyen was inspired by Tran's story and created a one-woman show, Nos corps empoisonnés (Our poisoned bodies), based on her life and activism. She talks about making theatre as a way of reaching audiences who might not otherwise listen. (Listen @22'07'') France legalised gay marriage on 23 April, 2013. 10years later, Vincent Autin (@VincentAutin), half of the first ever same-sex couple to tie the knot in France, reflects on the legacy of the law. And lawyer Florent Berdeaux (@florentberdeaux) talks about how the right to marry also opened up the right to divorce, which is arguably even more important.
