Pakistan’s Garment Workers Need a Safety Accord
On the seventh anniversary of the Ali Enterprises disaster, garment workers in Pakistan still risk their lives in unsafe factories. This report released in September 2019 called for a worker-led labour-brand safety according in Pakistan, based upon the lessons learned by the Bangladesh Accord.
This report reviews current risks and violations in Pakistan’s textile and garment factories and assesses several current initiatives in the industry that include safety aspects, analysing their commitments and performance. The report concludes with the recommendation that brands and retailers sourcing clothing and textiles from Pakistan heed calls from Pakistan’s labour movement to support the formation of a legally-binding agreement between apparel brands and local and global Union and labour rights groups to make workplaces safe.
