On April 24th, 2014, the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh collapsed, killing more than 1,100 garment workers and injuring many more

The collapse was the deadliest industrial disaster in Bangladesh's history and one of the worst industrial disasters in modern history

The collapse sparked widespread outrage and protests, and led to increased scrutiny of the working conditions in Bangladesh's garment industry

In the year since the collapse, there have been some improvements in working conditions in the garment industry, but there is still much that needs to be done

Protests were held in Bangladesh on the one-year anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse to demand better working conditions and justice for the victims

The protests were organized by the Bangladesh Garment Workers Solidarity and the National Garment Workers Federation

The protesters marched through the streets of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and demanded that the government take action to improve working conditions in the garment industry

The protesters also called for justice for the victims of the Rana Plaza collapse

The government has promised to take action to improve working conditions in the garment industry, but the protesters say that more needs to be done

They are calling on the government to increase the minimum wage for garment workers, improve safety standards in factories, and allow workers to form unions

The protests are a reminder that the Rana Plaza factory collapse was a tragedy that should never have happened

The government and the garment industry must take action to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again
