Ten years ago, the Rana Plaza accident took place, the deadliest in the recent history of the textile industry. In Bangladesh, on 24 April 2013, 1,134 people died when an eight-storey building, partly illegally constructed, collapsed in Dhaka.
Most were workers and made clothes for major Western brands such as Benetton, Gucci or Zara. The outrage caused by the accident forced international brands and local factories to agree to the creation of an independent factory inspection structure in Bangladesh.
