New USAID program supports Bangladeshi garment workers

Just in time for the second anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced a new 'Worker Empowerment Programme' for garment workers in Bangladesh. It will run for three years and support the women and men in Bangladesh's ready-made garment (RMG) sector in terms of labor rights, union organizing and women's empowerment.
