孟加拉國薩瓦區大樓倒塌事故過了五年：有什麼改變了？

On April 24, 2013, over 1,100 people working in a garment factory were killed in the Rana Plaza building collapse in Bangladesh.
2013年四月二十四日，1,100人不幸在孟加拉國薩瓦區大樓倒塌事故中身亡。

The tragedy brought Bangladesh and the abysmal conditions of its garment industry into international spotlight.
國際焦點都放在這場悲劇，帶給孟加拉國與成衣工廠慘烈的狀況。

Five years down the lines, things should have improved and they did,to a certain extend.
五年過後，事情應該會有所進步，而他們也做到了。

But a new survey by Center of Business and Human Rights at New York University’s Stern School of Business says that much retains to be done.
但是關於聯合國工商企業與人權指導原則最新的報告，他們還有很多措施需要改善。

It has found that the largest factories have complied with new safety standards, but thousands of smaller factories have not.
很多大型工廠有遵行安全基準，但是數千個小型工廠卻沒有。

Khadiza Begum was working at Rana Plaza    the day the complex collapsed and was trapped under the rubble for hours.
Khadiza Begum在熱那大廈工作，事發當天她卡在瓦礫堆中好幾小時。

Shaken up by the experience, she didn’t work for two years.
因為這件事的陰影，她工作不到兩年。

Khadiza Begum (Rana Plaza survivor)
I did not work after Rana Plaza(factory collapse). I took a job at a garment factory, but after one or two days there, I had the feeling that the floor was shaking or the building would fall down. I was afraid, and after one or two days, I couldn’t work anymore. Two years after the collapse, I took up a job here. 
在大樓倒塌事件後，我就沒有繼續在那工作了。當時我在成衣工廠工作，但是過了一兩天後，我總是有地板在震動、建築好像要倒榻的錯覺。當時我很害怕，過了一兩天後我根本無法繼續工作。熱那大廈倒榻後兩年，我才又在這裡重新找到工作。

Desperate for money, Khadiza went to work for Snowtex outerwear Ltd. Factory, a 42 million US dollars complex built after the 2013 tragedy.
因為急需用錢，Khadiza去了Snowtex工廠工作。那是一個在2013年悲劇中，重建花了4,200萬的工廠。

Khadiza is happy with the facilitiesat her new workplace.
Khadiza很滿意新的工作環境。

Khadiza Begum (Rana Plaza survivor)
I have overcome the fear here. This building is good and strong. There is no problem.
我已經克服了我的恐懼。這棟建築很堅固，沒有任何問題。

They organize fire drills twice a month and teach us emergency escape training if there is a problem.
他們每個月消防演習兩次，也訓練我們緊急逃生時的應變。

We can go and assemble at the specious place downstairs within five minutes of the fire alarm.
我們可以在火警時，五分鐘內到達樓下安全集合。

These facilities were absent there(Rana Plaza).
這些措施是在熱那大廈沒有的。

Bangladesh is one of the world’s largest textile manufacturing countries
孟加拉國是全國最大的紡織業工廠之一。

It brings in 28 billion US dollars annually, mostly from Europe and the United States
每年賺進28億美金，大部分是從歐洲與美國。

The Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh housed five clothing factories, that work for high street brands including - but not only - Benetton and Primark.
在孟加拉國，熱那大廈有設置五個名牌成衣工廠，其中包括Benetton和Primark。

Much of the improvement after Rana Plaza came with pressure from two safety programmes organized by foreign textile brands.
熱那大廈大部分的改善措施，是來自兩大外來服裝品牌的壓力。他們策劃大樓安全。

After Rana Plaza many buyers are so strict they strictly follow up all their production from where they are buying where we are producing.
在倒榻事件後，買家嚴謹把關產品在那裡購入、在哪裡生產。

Now it is almost difficult to do production in a subcontracting Factory. So supported subcontracting in next few years, it will be less every year.
現在要分包工廠幾乎是很困難的，將來會逐年減少。

Many industry insiders guardedly admit that subcontracting remains an issue in the garment industry
很多工廠內幕的人也承認，分包確實帶給成衣業一些問題。

Larger businesses sometimes give the work on contract to smaller, less-safe factories
大型企業有時會外派工作給小型、不安全的工廠。

It's very difficult how many factories are working or in this country. There is not concrete record even to the government agencies. 
我們很難知道國家存在多少工廠。就連政府都沒有確切的紀錄。

As far as the production concern to the export-oriented factories, this study might be a bit true.
直到產業涉及出口導向的工廠，這項研究可能是真的。

But as the trade unionist, I feel all the factories who are producing for the domestic products they need to be also improved and they need to be built as per the national law.
但是身為一位工會會員，我覺得所有生產國內產品的工廠也應該要改善，必須切依據國內法來建造。

Horrified by the incident, she had vowed never to work at a garment manufacturing factory again.

Moyna Begum(Rana Plaza survivor)
When I go for giving an interview for a garment factory job, I look around to see how the surrounding is.
當我去成衣工廠面試時，我會觀察周遭環境。

I look at the condition of the pillars, I look at the people there, is there enough space around, is there any crack on the floor or cracked walls. I notice those things now.
我端詳樑柱的狀況與這裡的人們，還有是否有足夠的空間、牆壁與地板是否有裂痕。我現在才會注意到這些細節。
