Garment Workers Protest Amid Crisis
Garment workers in Dhaka have taken to the streets in large numbers to demand higher wages, per DW News.
The protests have led to days-long shutdowns of hundreds of clothing factories, reports SCMP.
Experts say such unrest threatens a broader disaster for Bangladesh's economy, which heavily relies on garment exports.
The situation has sparked concern over potential workplace health impacts, as extreme heat is creating a crisis in the industry, notes Mongabay.
