Rana Plaza building collapse in Savar

Faulty structures in the Rana Plaza clothing factory building triggered cracks on one of the lower storeys. The result was a devastating collapse in April 2013, resulting in the deaths of around 1,200 workers. ActionAid provided emergency support in the immediate aftermath and continues to support survivors and families of those who died.

 

One year after the Rana Plaza factory building collapse in Savar, Bangladesh, ActionAid is helping many of those left injured or vulnerable to restart their lives and is part of the campaign seeking compensation for the survivors and families of those who died. ActionAid has worked for a number of years with garment workers in Bangladesh, supporting women to demand better pay and safer conditions. The Rana Plaza tragedy reinforced why this is so important.
