How to help Bangladesh garment factory workers right now?

"In order for evil to flourish, all that is required is for good men to do nothing." From Edward Burke.  18th century Irish statesman and author.  (1729 - 1797) This is a blog post I wrote on my top 10 suggestions to help Bangladeshi garment workers. Problem is, I, like most of us, truly didn't know the extent of how badly the garment workers were suffering.  I love my skinny jeans. I have oodles of them. At least 15.  And with many of these, would smile at the irony of the 'Made in Bangladesh" label and the connection it made with me, personally.  Little did I know that it would soon be my raison d'etre. 

A Solution to Bangladesh sweatshops?

I urge every CEO and their buyers at every top brand to please stop issuing statement saying they are concerned,. Instead start effecting change.  I have an idea for you all. Get out there.  Visit Bangladesh.  As a group, go and sort Bangladesh's problems once and for all.   And visit the victims.  It is the least you can do perhaps?
