This week’s Garment Worker Diaries blog is the second part in our focus on how COVID-19 lockdowns in Bangladesh might be affecting garment workers there.
Last week we looked at whether or not there had been any impact (in terms of travel time, cost, method of transport) on garment workers returning to work in the cities from their villages after Eid al-Adha while in the middle of a national lockdown. This week we stay within the cities to discuss workers’ feelings of safety in their factories; whether commuting within cities has been difficult; and how economically secure workers feel as COVID-19 and lockdown-induced uncertainty roams.
As always, please send any questions you have for MFO, SANEM, the workers or about the project to [email protected]
