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. The confirmed death toll was 1,130. Approximately 2,500 injured people were rescued. Rana Plaza shows how little the fashion brands that produce their expensive clothes care about the lives of their workers. Join us as we commemorate the workers killed and injured on 24 April 2013 in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. We will have various activities including a silent vigil at 12:57pm – the Melbourne time of the collapse (8:57am Bangladesh time).
