On the 24th November, at least 112 workers died in the fire at Tazreen Fashions, a garment factory near Dhaka, Bangladesh. Many of the workers jumped to their deaths trying to escape from the nine story building. Others, unable to escape the blaze, were burned alive. Tazreen produced for a host of well known brand names, including C&A, KIK, Walmart, Li & Fung, Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Disney, Dickies, Sean Comb (ENYCE) and Kmart/Sears.
The Clean Clothes Campaign along with trade unions and labour rights organisations in Bangladesh and around the world call upon the buyer companies to:
1. Ensure full compensation to the victims,
2. Support a full and transparent investigation into the fires,
3. Sign the Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Agreement.
We are calling upon your support to ask justice for the Tazreen victims, and to avoid another Tazreen to happen.
Please, sign this letter and send your message to the buyers!
