KARACHI - Campaigners say a new study on factory safety for garment and textile workers highlights the need to expand the International Accord for Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry to Pakistan.
The Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) commissioned researchers at the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research and Data (WISERD) and Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, to research garment and textile workers’ safety and health in Pakistan.
The CCC says the study illustrates that rights for workers in the industry have hardly progressed in Pakistan since a horrific fire at the Ali Enterprises factory in Karachi killed more than 250 garment workers a decade ago.
