This document discusses child labor in Bangladesh from several perspectives. It defines child labor as work that deprives children of their childhood and education. In Bangladesh, over 1.2 million children are considered child laborers. The document presents two case studies, including one about a 13-year-old boy working in a restaurant due to financial problems. It identifies poverty and lack of access to education as key drivers of child labor. Child laborers often face victimization and abuse. While laws exist to prevent child labor, effective enforcement remains a challenge. The conclusion calls for collaborative action between governments, organizations, and companies to address this social issue through education, health/nutrition programs, and ensuring children's basic rights.

5. Case Study-1
We interviewed Helal, 13 years old boy
working in a cheap restaurant as a waiter in
Ghatpar, Bashundhara.
He has been working since the age of 9 due
to financial problems.
He completed his primary education but
couldn’t continue further for having any
active family members except him and his
father.

6. Reason Behind
this problem
Education is the critical component of any
effective effort to remove child labor.
Many juvenile laborers are forced to work owing
to financial constraints. They lack primary
education, and even if they desire to be
educated, they are unable to do so due to
poverty or a heavy workload every day.

7. Victimization of
Child Labors
Victimization of child labor is a typical scene in
Bangladesh. They become victimized by their
employer and other unethical people and get
abused in many ways
Despite our desire, we cannot stop this child
labor. The organizations we have to reduce
child labor are not as active as they used to be.

8. Case Study-2
Article 17 states that it is the state’s
responsibility to provide citizens free and mass
compulsory education.
Governmental Institutions and their intervention
is key to solving this problem.

9. Laws of Child Labor in Bangladesh
The Constitution of Bangladesh includes provisions to prevent child
labor.
Bangladeshi government has provided elementary school
students with stipends, free textbooks and tuition are also
available to girls attending school in remote regions.

10. Execution of Child Labor Law
To ensure the effective and efficient execution
of all programs and projects related to
education, healthcare, and nutrition that are
being implemented by the government and
non-government organizations, along with
various UN agencies like UNICEF.
Bangladesh adopted the Children Act
1974 to protect the children and their
legal protections.

11. To Conclude
Identifying the scope of a plan of action to
accomplish the Policy.
Governments need to ensure to provide all basic
rights.
Setting up programs and associating collaboration
with other companies to cover vast quantities.
Publicly informing people about the importance of
creating a better future for our society.
