Lindex And WaterAid Target Better Health For Women Textile Workers

Lindex and WaterAid have launched a three-year project in Chattogram, Bangladesh, to improve the health and wellbeing of women textile workers and their families.

The initiative will combine climate-adapted water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure with education and stronger dialogue between workers, communities and factories. Priorities include access to safe water, menstrual health and hygiene, and protection from heat-related health risks.

The project also aims to develop a global framework to help fashion companies assess and improve suppliers’ water, sanitation and hygiene practices, with a focus on women’s health and human rights. It is expected to reach around 15,000 people.

Lindex and WaterAid have worked together since 2014, with projects in Bangladesh improving living conditions for nearly 35,000 people to date.
