Thousands of garment workers in Dhaka have taken to the streets protesting for higher wages, per SCMP.

The strikes have led to dayslong shutdowns of hundreds of clothing factories, disrupting production across Bangladesh's vital export sector, NBC News reports.

Experts say such protests highlight deep labor exploitation issues within the global supply chain, Impakter notes.

The unrest threatens economic stability in a country heavily dependent on garment exports for foreign currency and employment.
