Faces of Child Workers

IMON (age 14 years old), works at a manual soap factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Child labour is not a new issue in Bangladesh. Poverty leads many families here to send their children to work, often in hazardous and polluted environments such as refuse dumps, construction sites, brick-making fields or manufacturing factories. According to UNICEF, the long hours and poor working conditions not only prevent children from attending school, but can also severely affect their physical and mental health. Factory owners prefer to employ children as they could pay them less and also able to keep their factories free from trade unionism. A child labour gets taka 500 to 1000 (1 USD = 78 taka) per month, while an adult worker earns up to taka 6000 per month.
