Abstract
This chapter demonstrates the readymade garments (RMG) industry workers' plight during COVID-19. The authors collected data through interviews with garment workers in Bangladesh. Online publications and research reports of relevant cases, web pages, and newspapers were examined. It reveals that RMG workers' living standards and earnings have fallen due to COVID-19. Due to the cancellation of foreign orders and deferred payment by foreign buyers, many factory owners shut down operations. They terminated a large number of workers by disputed approaches from March 2020 onward. This study also examines a few initiatives taken by different stakeholders, which seems inadequate, in favor of workers' rights. The financial institution can come up with a role in supporting the sector by loans and other financial supports.
