I don’t think boycotting is the right way. If consumers want to
show solidarity with the garment workers who produce their clothes, they
should put pressure on the multinational companies that source from
Bangladesh and other developing countries to ensure they respect
workers’ rights and pay a fair price for the clothes they buy. Putting
pressure on governments in the North also has an important role to play
in making multinationals responsible for their business practices in the
developing world.
