This document discusses the plight of disadvantaged children in Bangladesh. It notes that while Bangladesh has signed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the rights of many children are still not properly protected. Specifically, it focuses on children living in poverty who lack access to healthcare, education and social security. These children often work in difficult conditions, live on the streets, and do not receive proper care, protection or support from society. The document calls for stronger laws, policies and programs to uphold the rights of all children in Bangladesh.
