The collapse of the Rana Square building in Bangladesh resulted in the deaths of 1,127 workers, almost all women

11
years ago

24 April 2013,

When the Bangladesh Rana Square building fell, 1,127 workers died and 2,500 were injured, most of them playful women. The accident took place in the capital of Dhaka, and the day before, although cracks were found in the building and reported, its superiors did not take action. The buildings were unstable and the exits were blocked to prevent theft. These workshops produced for several known brands: Inditex, El Corte Inglés, Mango, Alcampo, Primark, Wal-Mart, GAP or Benetton are some of them.
