The Garment Sector Unraveling in Bangladesh: Rethinking the Health, Safety, and Livelihoods of Workers During a Global Pandemic

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the global economy and on supply chains worldwide. Inherent inequities present at all layers of this complex network have left workers vulnerable, and their livelihoods have become even more precarious under the current global pandemic. This webinar, “The Garment Sector Unraveling in Bangladesh: Rethinking the Health, Safety, and Livelihoods of Workers During a Global Pandemic,” is a rare opportunity to bring together scholars in the social sciences, public policy, and healthcare to explore the role that workers’ physical and mental health plays in shaping our attitudes towards labor rights and how Covid-19 provides us with an opportunity to rethink our approach.

This program is a joint collaboration between Stanford CARE, the Subir and Malini Chowdhury Center for Bangladesh Studies at UC Berkeley, the UC Berkeley Institute for South Asia Studies, and the Stanford Center for South Asia.
