Hundreds of garment factories across Bangladesh have been forced to close after days of worker protests demanding higher pay. Workers are calling for a minimum monthly wage of 30,000 taka, a sharp increase from current levels, in an industry that supplies many major global clothing brands. The closures highlight growing unrest over low wages in one of the world's largest garment-exporting sectors.

Why now: New wage protests are disrupting Bangladesh's key garment industry, which supplies international brands, drawing wide attention.
