IWD 2026: Trade Union Voices for Safe Workplaces
Bangladesh Labour Foundation (BLF) organised a discussion forum in Keraniganj on International Women’s Day 2026 with local women who work in ready-made clothing and leaders of trade unions. The occasion provided a forum for discussion on the pressing need to guarantee women in the industry have secure, equal, and respectable workplaces.

- Gender-based violence (GBV) must be prevented by worker-centered policies, accountability, and proactive measures.
- For women employees to have equal opportunities, safety, and dignity, workplaces must be free from violence, harassment, and discrimination.
- Gender justice in the apparel industry must be advanced by collective action by employees, unions, employers, and legislators.
