Survivor, Rana Plaza tragedy

Rehana Akter, 24, whose left leg had to be amputated, said she had been working at the New Wave Styles Limited on the seventh floor of the building before the accident.

After the building collapsed, she found her left leg crushed by a part of a wall with blood spilling out of the leg.

She had her leg amputated at a city hospital, and was admitted to CRP for further treatment and physiotherapy. She has been provided with a prosthetic leg recently.

She does not want to go back to her previous profession. “I will not work in any garment factory. Our life has been ruined. If we were in good physical condition, we could do something to earn our livelihood.”

She wishes to go for a vocational training course at the CRP.

She is still haunted by the memory of the day of collapse. "I feel very bad whenever I remember that day. I used to be physically fit but I have lost that. I cannot console myself.  The accident has taken away everything."
