On the 10th anniversary of Rana Plaza

A statement by Friends of the Earth International commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh, calling for binding regulations on transnational corporations to protect human rights.

• The Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh occurred on April 24, 2013, resulting in the deaths of 1,138 people, of whom 80% were women, and causing injuries to hundreds more.
• Friends of the Earth International identifies the Rana Plaza disaster as an example of harm caused by transnational corporations seeking profit, specifically impacting working class women, indigenous people, and peasants in the Global South.
• The organization advocates for the implementation of binding regulations to ensure corporations respect human rights and a transition to an economic system prioritized for people over profit.
