STOP CLOTHES BEING MADE IN FEAR

Sign Now!

Demand that Best&Less put people ahead of profits. Stand with the women who make our clothes.

Every single day, many of the women who make our clothes have no choice but to work in fear. But you can help put a stop to the unsafe conditions and exploitive work practices they endure.

Fire and building safety disasters have killed thousands of garment workers. The worst disaster in history was the 2013 Rana Plaza factory building collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which killed 1,138 workers and injured a further 2,500.

This was a disaster waiting to happen. When structural cracks were discovered in the building workers begged to be sent home. Managers refused. 

We must act now to prevent another Rana Plaza disaster. 

The collapse of Rana Plaza led to the development of an acclaimed, legally binding safety agreement between fashion brands, factories and trade unions – the International Accord.

The Accord has made over a thousand factories in Bangladesh safer and protected the lives of millions of garment workers. But countless more workers continue to be at risk.

It’s time for Best&Less to step up.  

Over 190 brands have signed the Accord, but the Australian brand Best&Less is yet to take action, putting workers’ safety at risk by refusing to sign.

Sign the petition today and make Best&Less commit to making sure the factories they use are safe, by signing on to the International Accord.

Everyone has the right to be safe at work. 

The Best&Less International Accord petition is run in a collaboration between ActionAid Australia and Oxfam Australia.
