Rana Plaza, 10 years on - Has the Fashion Industry Really Changed?
Apr 24, 2023
The Burning Case

Ten years ago today, 1,134 workers lost their lives in the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh. It is considered the deadliest garment-factory disaster in history. To commemorate this tragic event, we are publishing a two-episode series on the fashion industry today.

In today’s episode, we are joined by Delphine Williot, Policy and Campaigns Manager, Fashion Revolution and Nazma Akter, Founder and Executive Director of Awaj Foundation to discuss:

  • Whether the fashion industry has changed in the last decade?
  • Whether actual social and sustainability commitments have been taken by brands or if it’s  just all greenwashing?
  • How we are tackling the overproduction and waste crises?
  • What’s needed from the consumer market for conditions to improve?
  • And much more!
