Fashion Revolution Day is April 24. It's the anniversary of the 2013 Rana Plaza building's demise. "Who made my clothes?" organizers encourage people to ask their favorite clothing brands on this day. "Who made my clothes?" The aim is to bring greater transparency into the fashion supply chain by exposing some of the deplorable conditions in which clothing is made.
On April 24, 2013, a clothing factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh, died, killing 1,133 workers and injuring 2,500 more. This was the biggest accident in the history of the clothing industry. The Rana Plaza building was reported to have been constructed with substandard materials under faulty conditions, yet the factory remained very active up until the deadly demise..
Another textile factory in Bangladesh collapsed, killing 110 workers just five months earlier.
Organizers encourage grassroots and social media participation. According to them, one of the main ways to get involved is through social media, encouraging people to use the all-important #whomademyclothes hashtag..
