A former child laborer, Kalpona Akter, in Bangladesh started an internationally known organization called the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity (BCWS). This organization for almost one decade has been supporting workers as they struggle for a better life in Bangladesh. BCWS works mainly to support garment factory workers but also supports workers in the shrimping and shipbreaking industries. However Kalpona Akter and her co-worker Babul Ahkter were arrested 2 days ago as part of a long term effort by the Government of Bangladesh to silence those seeking better human and labor rights for Bangladeshis. So now we are calling on you to help spread the message far and wide. Kalpona and her colleagues have been supporting others for so many years and now they need our support! http://www.laborrights.org/creating-a-sweatfree-world/sweatshops/partner-spotlight-bangladesh-center-for-workers-solidarity
