Bangladesh's ready-made garments sector rebound: Revisiting gendered labor precarity and dependency
Thousands of ready-made garment (RMG) workers, frequently seen as Bangladesh's lifeline for economic growth and poverty alleviation, were sacked arbitrarily just weeks after the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. The widespread cancellation of existing orders, followed by factory closures and worker layoffs, triggered an unprecedented crisis for RMG workers, the vast majority of whom are women. As the industry is slowly recovering from the initial uphea…
The Grameen Bank Microfinance Model in the Global North: Processes, Transfer Intermediaries and Adoption
The spread of the Grameen Bank microfinance model has received global attention. The article discusses when and how the model traveled “North”. It finds that both specialized actors, such as policy ambassadors, and permissive local contexts were crucial in these adoptions. The US seemed more permissive, partly due to network ties and because of a neoliberal approach to social policy together with a strong focus on gender norms. In Europe, however…
In search of a Rohingya digital diaspora: Virtual Togetherness, Collective Identities and Political Mobilisation
Frequently called the most persecuted minority in the world, the Rohingyas have suffered systematic violence and oppression in Myanmar since the 1970s. Today, the vast majority of the nearly three million Rohingyas are in exile, escaping state-sponsored human rights violations and persecution in the Rakhine state of Myanmar-a place they call "home". Neighbouring Bangladesh, which currently hosts over a million displaced Rohingya, has been a 'sanc…
The pandemic has added to my miseries”: Bangladeshi migrant workers’ social protection revisited
The protection of migrant workers has received renewed attention in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This article depicts how unpreparedness, inadequate social security and support services, and pre-existing socio-economic disparities disproportionately impacted Bangladeshi migrant workers during the pandemic. Adopting a qualitative approach based on findings from existing literature and surveys and primary data collected through interviews wit…
Do No Harm in refugee humanitarian aid: The case of the Rohingya humanitarian response
The article broadly examines how humanitarian aid for Rohingya refugees inadvertently harmed poorer hosts and adversely affected local capacities for peace. The article also discusses possible ways of easing tension and improving social cohesion in the refugee-hosting areas, while also highlighting how policy- and mandate-related constraints hinder a humanitarian response anchored in the "Do No Harm" principle. Finally, the article concludes with…
From solidarity to resistance: Host communities’ evolving response to the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh
Bangladesh sets an admirable example of solidarity with the Rohingya refugees from Myanmar by hosting more than a million Rohingyas despite its resource constraints. However, there is a perceptible shift from this rather unconditional solidarity to an anti-refugee sentiment. In evaluating the factors that contributed to these changing dynamics, we analysed how the host communities’ solidarity with the plight of Rohingya refugees evolved. Broadly,…
