In this week’s Garment Worker Diaries blog we discuss the answers to questions workers in Bangladesh answered for us regarding dangers in the workplace, both occupational and interpersonal. The answers suggest there are opportunities to improve workers’ confidence regarding how to properly respond to certain workplace accidents, and also in the way workers and management communicate about such safety issues. And regarding certain kinds of abusive interactions between workers, it is important to note that women were somewhat more likely to report an abusive encounter than men and to report that such encounters occur more frequently. Men were also far more likely than women to be identified as the person committing the abuse.
As always, you can send any questions you have for MFO, SANEM, the workers or about the project to [email protected].
