Thousands of Bangladeshi garment workers barricaded roads in Dhaka Wednesday demanding fair wages for clothing they make for major western brands, with at least two killed during days of protests. Sabina Begum, a 22-year-old seamstress, said she joined the protests because she was “struggling to ensure bread and butter” for her family, saying the monthly minimum wage of 8,300 taka ($75) did not cover basic needs.
