ESSAY 1
From last decades, Bangladesh has developed as the second biggest exporter of garments in
the world because of open trade strategies or procedures, which have attracted foreign
investment at large scale. The rising industry has given the nation with much required capital
to restrain disturbing poverty rates by providing the employment to many young females
from backward areas, when international apparel retailers have attained access to practically
unrestricted cheap and low-skilled work ideal for the manufacturing of fast-fashion
substances. However, it is a predictable consequence that many basic human rights,
recognised both in international human rights law and developed in national legislature of
Bangladesh have been ineffectively imposed so as not to interfere with the extremely
profitable industry.

limitations on the union rights of staff, forced workforce, judgment, child labour, and
improper criminal justice, inadequate wages that amount to surviving in poverty and security
threats at workplace. Notwithstanding the facts that Bangladesh has sanctioned most basic
human rights treaties and settlements that have been framed to safeguard the rights of people
worldwide.
Latest accidents in reviewed and practised garment factories state that present social
agreement initiatives and corporate social responsibility efforts that are significantly
intentional in nature have been improper to overcome the several security matters and labour
issues related to labour which happen in the garment factories which manufacture clothes for
the western retailers. The incapability of the human rights administration to secure the
personal rights and powers from financial influences as well as deficiencies in the legal rule
and corporate responsibility call for substitute procedures that will be showed as a response to
the continuing labour abuses. Several initiatives established by international performers that

socio-economic elements behind the bad understanding of the powers (Glazer, 2017).

human resource to eliminate the poverty by itself. The apparels industry is most acceptable
sector, in which overcrowding may be used. It can be considered by making focus on
important elements for example lower priced material, less cost of workforce, early
manufacturing with inexpensive labour. However, slowly the commercial and close
atmosphere of apparel factories becomes a problem of human right due to deadly incidents. It
is found that various incidents are the general occurrence in this sector. There are many
elements, which made the garment sector tricky. It is very important to make the garment
industry of Bangladesh secure for the employees. The secure surroundings would help to
decrease possible issues related to various threats. These various threats are not only the
reason for danger events but also major problem of harm and damages in production. This
incident influence adversely on sustainability and productivity. As per this, human rights for
secure functioning conditions are considered as international norms. There are many reasons,
which push adversely forward to insecure operational conditions.

factories in Bangladesh. The matter shows previous and latest insecure functioning conditions
