Child Labor
Child labor is not only terrifyingly prevalent in our society, it is growing, and that is something we should be very, very afraid of. In Dhaka city if you walk five minute, you will see children aged from 5/6 all the way to their teen years, carrying heavy equipment, sharp tools, fixing cars, and then some. Even the children who run from street to street, selling flowers and balloons are putting their lives at risk every day. When one of them dies, whether during the time they are handling the risks of their jobs, or whether they are murdered in broad daylight by their employer, who is it that we go to for answers?
“It is unlawful for factories and other industries to hire children under 18, but even after implementing this law, we see very little improvement in the situation.
Even though there is strong frequency of child labour in the country, there has been an increase in legislation that are against child labour.
In a society where a child’s life has so little respect from the adult-society, the prevalence of child labour makes the scenario even scarier for the children of our country.
According to a UNICEF report on Child Labour in Bangladesh, because of our social norms, and economic realities, child labour is widely accepted, and very common in Bangladesh. Many families rely on their children, no matter how old, to generate income for sustainability, so child labour is often of high value.
So, we should all come forward and stop the violence.
