Nabela Noor in her video listed brands who were involved in exploitation of Bangladeshi RMG 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.
