Campaigners target Gap over Bangladesh factory safety
Retailer still refuses to back garment workers' rights 1 year after Rana Plaza disaster

Campaigners gathered in front of Gap’s flagship London store yesterday in protest against the brand’s refusal to back Bangladesh safety rights.

The Bond Street shop entrance was blocked with rubble, clothes and debris — a graphic representation of the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory building, which killed 1129 people a year ago.

Anti-poverty campaign War on Want believes Gap, which had clothing made at Rana Plaza, has a duty to sign the Accord on Factory and Building Safety in Bangladesh.
