Women demonstrate in DHAKA
179 garment factories in Dhaka have closed because Western retailers have cancelled their orders. The garment industry is hugely important in Bangladesh - it accounts for 80% of its exports, and usually employs four million women workers. These women are poor any way. They exist from paycheck to paycheck and will now experience enormous poverty in Dhaka. (Image taken from Dhaka news)
