Garment Workers Protest In Bangladesh.
Workers of Posh Garments block a road demanding payment of due wages and the reopening of the factory after its sudden closure without prior notice, in Tejgaon area of Dhaka, Bangladesh, on August 23, 2025. The factory employs around 1,200 garment workers. The garment industry, a crucial driver of Bangladesh's export economy, grapples with a series of challenges that lead to a significant downturn. In the past year, at least 76 garment factories shut their doors, pushing over 50,000 workers, predominantly women, out of jobs. Industry experts warn that the situation may worsen, with more closures on the horizon. (Photo by MD Abu Sufian Jewel/NurPhoto)
