The US imports readymade garments made in Jordan where factories reportedly exploit migrant apparel workers of Bangladesh. Jordanian apparel factories export apparels for the American and Canadian consumers, according to US Customs Records. Global and local trade unionists urged the Jordanian apparel factory owners to follow the code of conduct and common Buyer requirements for the apparel industry. In Jordan, women apparel workers of Bangladesh are forced to work in adverse conditions that affected their physical and psychological health, said Bangkok based Global Alliance against Traffic in Women, in short GAATW, in a study report in August. In Jordan, the women apparel workers faced a distinct pattern of gender and ethnicity based discriminations at their workplaces, said the GAATW study.
