ASHBOURNE – Fashion Revolution, which first collaborated with the NGO Microfinance Opportunities in 2016 to introduce the Garment Worker Diaries (GWD) – a research project documenting the lives of garment workers across Southeast Asia – has now released data relating to a new cohort of 1,300 workers throughout Bangladesh.
This data, which provides a comprehensive overview of the lives of workers: from their wages and working hours to factory conditions and education, will now be used in tandem with Fashion Revolution’s Fashion Transparency Index and the Open Apparel Registry (OAR). This, to create an in-depth assessment of workers, their pay and the brands they produce for.
