Acknowledgements
At the very outset, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the main stakeholder
(Garments workers) for cooperating us in conducting the empirical part of the study. We are
indeed gratified to a number of garments factories and people for conducting this study. We also
express our gratitude to some institutions for using their secondary data on compliance of
security and safety net garments workers in analytical part of the study. Basically the documents
of the Bangladesh Institute of Labour Studies, International Labour Organizations, Bangladesh
Garments Manufacturers Exporters Association, and American Senate Report were very handy
in preparing this study.
This study has been supported by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Bangladesh.
So, we are indeed grateful to the NHRC for extending their kind collaboration. We sincerely
hope this report will fulfill the requirements suggested by NHRC, and we tried to gather
information to make the report specific and coherent through the procedure of collecting and
using necessary data from relevant and reliable sources.
We must thank to the whole team members, for their sincere, sagacious, and cooperative attitude
from the very beginning to the end in accomplishing the whole task.
We would like to articulate our immense admiration to Professor Dr. Mizanur Rahman,
Chairman, NHRC, for his enthusiastic annotations and useful guidelines as to the scope and
focus of the present study.
It will be unjust if we do not acknowledge the support of Mr. Md. Asraful Islam, Academic
Coordinator, Department of Law & Justice, Southeast University, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
