With generous funding from UK International Development from the UK government, GoodWeave has created four short videos on workers’ rights. These videos were developed to inform garment workers in Bangladesh about their rights in the workplace. The videos are in both English and Bangla. They address the most common risks that vulnerable workers face and provide them with strategies to address these risks. Workers are provided with contact information for the Bangladesh worker welfare hotline and two other helplines if they need assistance.

Bangla versions of the videos can be seen here.
