On the 13th of May, the Bangladeshi army announced that it had ended its search for survivors of the Rana Plaza garments factory collapse in Dhaka three weeks ago that tragically claimed the loss of more than 1100 lives, most of them women. The heartbreaking tragedy once again highlighted the exploitation of women by the garment and other multinational corporations in the country as the building housed five garment factories making cheap clothes for Western brands and shops such as Primark. The sad reality is that this tragedy was not just an accident - it was an accident waiting to happen because of companies that take advantage of low standards or regulations to run their business as cheaply as possible for maximum profit, regardless of the dangers or safety considerations. The eight-story plaza collapsed a day after warnings had been given that the building was unsafe – warnings that were ignored for the sake of financial gain by both the factory owners and Western retailers who benefited from the cheap clothes manufactured at the site.
