Apparels Village Ltd. encourages hiring transgender workers
On 10 November 2021 Apparels Village Limited (AVL) got on board for being certified under The Ze Project. AVL is now open to hiring transgenders and including them in their workforce. Followed by a wellness session at their factory hosted by Bandhu Social Welfare, where the workers have been educated on what is transgenderism and taught about trans rights in Bangladesh.
A donation cheque of US $1000 was handed to Bandhu as a means of being certified by The Ze Project; the ceremony ended with Bandhu handing over the certificate to AVL.
The Ze Project is a certification for RMG factories to promote the employment of transgender individuals. The Bangladeshi Government recently introduced a bill implementing a tax rebate of 5 percent upon hiring 100 transgenders. With this initiative, the Ze Project aims to highlight the urgency of hiring transgenders and ensuring a stable income through job security.
