Fiery activist and former garment worker Kalpona Akter, winner of numerous human rights awards, is visiting Dartmouth, fresh from testifying before Congress yesterday on global efforts to end sexual violence in the workplace. She was one of the prime movers in the Bangladesh Fire and Safety Accord, a landmark 2013 agreement now signed by 220 global fashion and retail companies, binding them to accept independent safety inspections of factories in their global supply chains and to make necessary repairs. Akter will speak about the work yet to be done and the lives that have already been saved by the groundbreaking Accord.
