Declaración de Solidaridad con las víctimas de Rana Plaza y con las mujeres trabajadoras en marcha en este Día Mundial de Acción Feminista

The document marks the second anniversary of the Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh, linking the disaster to a broader pattern of economic violence and exploitation of women by multinational corporations. It highlights the risks faced by women environmental defenders—including peasant and indigenous leaders—who oppose polluting projects such as hydroelectric dams and extractive industries. The statement calls for the dismantling of corporate power and for transnational companies to be held accountable for human rights abuses and environmental crimes.

• The Rana Plaza complex collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh, resulted in the deaths of more than one thousand women workers and left hundreds more seriously injured and unable to work.
• Women environmental defenders, including indigenous women protecting territories from oil, gas, mineral extraction, monoculture plantations, and hydroelectric dams, face heightened risks of violence, sexual harassment, and exclusion.
• The document argues that inhuman working conditions in multinational corporate chains are built upon the exploitation of women's bodies, territories, and both productive and reproductive labor.
• Friends of the Earth International and the World March of Women advocate for the dismantling of corporate power and the legal prosecution of transnational companies for environmental crimes and human rights abuses.
