In Bangladesh, garment workers are demanding a minimum wage of 30,000 taka, while currently receiving only 12,000 taka. Rising inflation and increased living costs for food, housing, transport, and healthcare have significantly reduced their purchasing power. Around 500 factories have closed, leading to protests, violence, and unrest in Dhaka. The government has blamed the Awami League for the demonstrations.
