RMG Worker Face Social Stigma in their own Community



RMG worker contribute in Garments industry which is most profitable export ditch in Bangladesh. Approximately 56% foreign currency earn from this ditch by exporting Garments goods. It’s irony the main strainer of this industry are a large number of female worker who spend their life in misery. These women has face different kind of problem in their working place, family, own community even they are not secure in working place like frequently sexually harass, by their male supervisor and colleague. Raping a RMG worker is a common phenomenon , forcing authority did not give any punishment to this criminal. As a result any body can game of ducks and drakes with their life. These women usually lives in village. First step of their life problem start when they go outside of village for job. Village people took it scurrilous eye. Parent could not provide her food, educational expenses, or other cost, ultimately she has to go outside of village to survive herself and her family. Villagers view is , a young women should stay at home with her family .When a young women go outside of village for job she break traditional purdha, in working place she has to deal with various person especially man and has a chance to fell in love and get married without parents permission. But the fate is that marriage did not lasting long. Again they get married in their own village by hiding their previous marriage. Even RMG worker are not expected as a bride to bridegroom party in Village . Because RMG worker has to deal with many man in working place, can not maintain purdha, has a chance to hide previous marriage, may be they can involved with sex trade in the disguise of RMG worker, as a bride they are not obedient, over smart , family status is not good .Interesting matter is , in some situation parents arrange RMG worker marriage by hiding their profession. After marriage if the bridegroom party know about her profession it create disturbance conjugal life. Village people even relatives also pinching RMG worker parents that they could not bear their daughter live expense, they survive on their daughter income. It’s really painful RMG worker perform tremendously to rise our economy , their life became hell in alive.
