Youtube star Nabela Noor speaks up for Bangladeshi workers

Beauty vlogger and Youtube star, Nabela Noor voiced against major brands to #Payup millions of Bangladeshi garment workers.

Nabela Noor posted a video from her Instagram account saying that, 'The exploitation of Bangladeshi garment workers must stop NOW. Major brands have yet to #PAYUP leaving over 4.1 million Bangladeshi garment workers at the brink of starvation and facing the threat of homelessness.'

She also urged her fans to support by sharing the information about these workers. Bangladesh is the 3rd largest exporter of readymade garment products right after Vietnam and China. Most of the workers in this sector also happen to be women. Thus the dependency for the lower-income families in the industry is unparalleled.

I just need 3 MINUTES of your time. Please listen, share and get involved:⁣ ⁣ The exploitation of Bangladeshi garment workers must stop NOW. Major brands have yet to #PAYUP leaving over 4.1 million Bangladeshi garment workers at the brink of starvation and facing the threat of homelessness. ⁣ ⁣ Please watch the full video and learn more about the fast fashion industry, the exploitation of garment workers and the brands who are responsible for this exploitation for their own profit and the ability to boast about their "low prices." ⁣ ⁣ Low prices, huge steals, and big bargains are at the expense of garment workers' livelihoods. ⁣ ⁣ Below are the list of brands involved. Please tag these brands and comment under their posts. When tagging and calling IN these brands and public figures, please remember that our intention should not be to drag and destroy, but to raise awareness and demand real change. ⁣ ⁣ Tag @kimkardashian, @kyliejenner, @kourtneykarshian, @kendalljenner, @khloekardashian + Kanye West (on Twitter) to bring this to their attention under their posts. Kanye's partnership with @Gap is disappointing given that Gap has yet to #PayUp for Bangladeshi workers who desperately need to be paid what they are rightfully owed.⁣ ⁣ Tag and bring attention to the following brands as well who are all involved in this crisis: ⁣ ⁣ @gap @jcpenney @walmart @primark @forever21 @peacocks_fashion @bestseller.com @levis @rossdressforless @ca @sears @topshop @burton_menswear @kohls @urbanoutfitters @freepeople @anthropologie @childrensplace @liandfung @mothercareuk ⁣ ⁣ To learn more about the #PayUp movement, the fast fashion industry and for helpful resources + updates visit @whomade.yourclothes, @remakeourworld and @cleanclothescampaign. ⁣ ⁣ The information and stats shared in this video are sourced from their incredible resources and diligent work in fighting the exploitation in the fashion industry. ⁣ ⁣ I believe that together we can make real, powerful change. It starts with raising awareness. Please share this video and continue to use your voice, because it holds so much power. ?⁣ ⁣ #wearyourvalues #whomademyclothes

A post shared by Nabela (নাবিলা) Noor (@nabela) on Jun 29, 2020 at 4:56pm PDT

Nabela Noor's video was seen by about a million of her fans and followers. In the video, she went on to show a list of brands who were involved in this exploitation. She also called them out on their malignant practices that threaten the survival of many low-income families in Bangladesh.

'Low prices, huge steals, and big bargains are at the expense of garment workers' livelihoods,' she said.

She urged her fans to tag -@kimkardashian, @kyliejenner, @kourtneykarshian, @kendalljenner, @khloekardashian + Kanye West (on Twitter). Since, they were the big names related to the problems facing our RMG workers.

In a declaration of hope, she said, 'I believe that together we can make real, powerful change. It starts with raising awareness.'

Nabela Noor is the founder and CEO of the clothing brand  Zeba. It is a self-love focused movement meant to revolutionize the perception of beauty. Redefining popular and, in cases, unrealistic beauty standards.
