Summary

Description

Khaleda was working in the Rana Plaza building when it collapsed on 24 April 2013.

“There were 10 to 12 of us trapped under the rubble, we thought that we were going to die," says Khaleda. "We were saying goodbye to each other. I was rescued from the collapse after being buried for 16 hours."

Khaleda was treated for her injuries and later on received rehabilitation support from the UK aid funded Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP). She was also able attend a 3-month vocational skills training by the UK funded ILO programme and now works as a dress maker.

“I want to open my own tailoring shop in the future; ultimately I would like to become self-employed. After the training, my confidence has increased and I have enough courage and experience to manage a shop.”
