The 2012 Dhaka fire broke out on 24 November 2012, in the Tazreen Fashion factory in the Ashulia district on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. At least 117 people were confirmed dead in the fire, and over 200 were injured, making it the deadliest factory fire in the nation's history. This event and others similar to it have led to a demand for reforms in workers' rights and safety laws in Bangladesh, though numerous other accidents have taken place, notably the collapse of Rana Plaza where over a thousand workers died.
