Concentrating on different problems of the female workers of readymade garments sector, the study recommends the combined approach to deal with factors like class, ethnics and migration. In conclusion, this research affirm that female RMG workers are strong and active fighter, not the female as a passive victim and give strategies how to empower and stabilize female workers through policy analysis and industry action.
