Solidarity Statement with victims of Rana Plaza and to the women workers marching on this Global Day of Feminist Action

Friends of the Earth International issues a statement of solidarity with the victims of the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh and supports the World March of Women's 2015 global action. The statement denounces 'economic violence against women' and the 'inhumane working conditions' imposed by multinational corporations, linking these issues to the risks faced by women environmental defenders fighting land grabbing and polluting projects.

• The Rana Plaza complex collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh, resulted in the deaths of more than one thousand women workers and left hundreds more severely injured and unable to work.
• Women environmental defenders, including peasant leaders and indigenous women, face heightened risks of violence, sexual harassment, and rape while opposing polluting projects such as hydroelectric dams, monoculture plantations, and the extraction of oil, gas, and minerals.
• Friends of the Earth International advocates for the dismantling of corporate power and seeks legal accountability for transnational corporations regarding environmental crimes and human rights abuses.
