Abstract

On April 24, 2013, a garment factory building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the world's second largest clothing exporting country, collapsed — resulting in the deaths of more than 1,000 textile workers. This tragedy triggered a wave of global shock and reflections. The International Labor Organization (ILO) urged Bangladesh to close down garment factories that lacked safe production conditions. The EU considered imposing trade sanctions on Bangladesh to force it to improve the production environment for workers. Retail giants in Sweden and the UK agreed to purchase clothing and other goods only from Bangladeshi factories that met safety conditions.
