Report uncovers Bangladesh slavery and child labour risks

A new report from the University of Nottingham’s Rights Lab and workers’ rights non-profit GoodWeave International has highlighted the risk of modern slavery and child labour in Bangladesh's garment supply chains.

The study, which collected data from 2,000 adult and child workers across 20 industrial clusters in Dhaka and Chattogram, the country's key ready-made garment (RMG) production hubs, reveals exploitative workplace practices, hazardous work for young workers, and low wages at exporter and subcontracted worksites, among other risks.
