Mon 10 € T-shirt: Talk about ethical fashion

  The death toll of 24 April collapse of a textile factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh, has spent 1,000 people, making it the worst industrial accident since 1984 gas leak at a Carbide India Limited pesticide plant in Bhopal Union. Rana Plaza complex collapsed just a day after an engineer said it was dangerous.

Primark in the UK and the company Loblaw in Canada, admitted that their clothes Rana Plaza made and offered to compensate the victims of the disaster.

One question that was on my mind this week: Is it possible that the T-shirt I bought yesterday was killed by one of the workers in the factory?

It is a disturbing thought for the awareness of a client. But determining what we can do as consumers to help workers in the clothing industry, is no easy task.

Bangladesh is the world's second largest exporter of clothing after China. This is part of their economy experienced rapid growth, capital of a low-wage model that appeals to western retailers like Wal-Mart and Primark.

In the past 20 years to have a clothing industry $ 19 billion, which represents nearly 80 percent of exports, and employs approximately 4 million people, according to the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters.

Rana Plaza collapse was neither the first nor the last case of the deadly disaster in Bangladesh. On Thursday, the victims were always out of the rubble, caught another garment factory in Dhaka fire killed eight people, including the owner of the building. Five months ago, killed a fire in the factory outside Dhaka Fashion Tazreen 112 people.

How can consumers make responsible decisions about our clothing purchases when both the life and livelihood of workers in garment factories are at stake?
