The workers of a ready-made garment (RMG) factory in Savar staged demonstrations on Tuesday in Dhaka protesting against the sexual harassment of women workers.
The workers formed a human chain under the banner of the National Garment Workers Federation in front of the Jatiya Press Club this noon.
The protesting workers alleged that the admin manager of Chinese-owned Risingtex Fashion Limited in Ashulia of Savar often sexually harasses the factory’s female workers.
When the workers demanded punishment from the officials, but the factory authorities did not take any step and that officer sexually harassed the female workers again on November 13.
Later, when the workers protested against it again, the factory authorities fired 32 workers, said the workers.
And so, the workers formed the human chain demanding justice and reinstatement of jobs in the factory, said Amirul Haque Amin, president of the National Garments Workers’ Federation.
