This week’s Garment Worker Diaries blog is an update on the project in Bangladesh through the end of 2022. December of that year marked 33 straight months of data collection in Bangladesh, beginning with the onset of COVID-19 in April 2020. Throughout that time period, garment workers kept showing up at their factories, sometimes working as much as 295 hours per month.
We did not include as many core questions in our weekly surveys in the fall of 2022, but in turn we were also able to ask garment workers more special (one-time) questions. In the coming weeks and months we look forward to sharing some of those special questions results with you in our #OpenDiaries series, which you can find posted across all of our social media platforms, as well as on our website’s designated #OpenDiaries page.
As always, you can send any questions you have for MFO, SANEM, the workers or about the project to questions@workerdiaries.org.
