Child Labor


Stop child labor


Children are the key of future development nurturing in appropriate environment and ensuring their rights is our responsibility. But child labor is  increasing alarmingly day by day. According to UNESCO, in Bangladesh, 40 percent of total population is children. Among them 20 percent is engaged   in child labor. It is matter of great regret that , now the canteens ,departmental stores of University of Dhaka are full of child laborers .They are below 14/16. There also 9-10 aged child. But no one is concern about this. Instead of going school they are washing plate whole the day. They are fully deprived from their basic need ‘Education’. Instead of slapping with affection of mother they have to sleep on the floor of canteen. They are deprived from their parent’s love. They have no chance to take rest in the whole day let along recreation.Sadly   they are actually deprived from all basic needs. Authority should think about them.
