  • Résumé

  • On this episode of TFC Connections, Nicole Clenney and Rebecca Ballard host Khalid Mahmood, the Director of the Labour Education Foundation in Pakistan, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Rana Plaza collapse, fashion’s most significant industrial disaster that killed 1,134 individuals and injured 2,500 more, and discuss the way forward. In the decade since the tragedy, brands have increasingly tried to establish sustainable supply chains. Still, progress toward labor rights, workplace safety, and human rights generally has lagged behind other sustainability initiatives. Rana Plaza, in many ways, was a catalyst for change and accountability, and it moved brands to sign the International Accord to ensure health and safety programs in Bangladesh. Ten years later, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Morocco, and India have been identified by the Accord Secretariat as priority countries to establish workplace programs. In December of 2022, the expansion of the Accord into Pakistan was announced, with 35 brands signing on to ensure worker safety in the garment and textile industry. Khalid shares his views on the progress and challenges to successfully implementing the Accord in Pakistan.To learn more about the Labour Education Foundation please visit https://www.lef.org.pk/
