In Bangladesh, many garment workers have lost their jobs and one woman was killed during a Wednesday demonstration for more pay, which turned violent.

It should be raised further. We have to pay rent, food, and children’s education. The market economy is on fire. How can we go on like this?” garment worker Rahima Begum asked.
