Access to information for RMG workers in Bangladesh, a gender perspective.pdf

ETI is part of a collaborative initiative introducing Social Dialogue Programmes to empower low-income workers to engage with workplace-based solutions in the vast global supply chain of the RMG sector. With approximately 60 percent of RMG workers identifying as female, examining the social norms and power relations in the home and at work through a gender lens is imperative. 

ETI worked with Consiglieri Private Limited (CPL) to conduct a survey examining the patterns and obstacles present in accessing information for male and female workers in the RMG sector of Bangladesh. There was a particular focus on access to information surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
