What's Changed A Decade After The Rana Plaza Collapse?
On April 23, 2013, a group of garment factories collapsed in Rana Plaza near Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The accident killed more than 1,100 people and injured at least 2,500. It's considered the deadliest accident in the history of the modern garment industry.
It's been a decade, but the garment industry is still far from safe for workers.
Factories like the one in Rana Plaza aren't unique to Bangladesh. And safety for these workers is not just an issue overseas.
We discuss what's changed in the decade since the Rana Plaza collapse.
