DHAKA - The winners have been announced of a competition set up to protect women garment workers in Bangladesh from the threats posed to their livelihoods by automation.
The Stitch for RMG Global Innovation Challenge was launched by the H&M Foundation - the philanthropic arm of the Swedish retailer, in partnership with the BRAC and Asia Foundation development organisations.
The aim was to futureproof the jobs of women garment workers in Bangladesh whose jobs were seen as particularly susceptible to automation and digital technology.
