10 Years Later: European Parliament Responds to Rana Plaza Disaster

Ten years after the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh killed 1,134 garment workers, the European Parliament passed a resolution asking for new minimum standards to make the textile sector sustainable.

MEPs also called for measures to protect workers' rights in third countries and safeguards to limit the environmental impact of industries.

The collapse of the Rana Plaza factory killed mostly women, producing cheap clothing for well-known western brands.
