Ismail Ferdous on the Garment Factory Collapse in Bangladesh

Posted on 5 August 2015

“In my dreams, I would hear them [victims] saying they need me to save them. While having this nightmare, I would jolt up quickly, open the door and run out. My husband would have to bring me back to the house and have me lay down. He had to deal with my hysteria for a long time as I was mentally unwell,” shares Afroza Akhter Eti, who worked as a volunteer after the collapse. This is @ismailferdous, sharing stories from my project @afterranaplaza. “During the rescue operation, there were many dead bodies which were not moved out. On the backside of the Rana Plaza building, approximately 35 people had been smashed together and died. Later we found their bodies while excavating through the site. A girl from amongst these people wrote a message on the wall, ‘we are going to die anyway. I wish someone could rescue our dead bodies.’ Another person left his phone number in his shoes,” shares Afroza Akhter Eti. She cannot erase the visions that float before her eyes each time she attempts to move beyond what she experienced after the collapse. #fairfashion #ranaplaza #afterranaplaza #bangladesh #osf #costoffashion #workerrights #fastfashion #humanrights #opensociety #workersrigths #fashionindustry
