Child Labor

Child labor remains widespread in Bangladesh, especially in sectors like garments, agriculture, domestic work, and small factories.

• Children are often forced to work in dangerous, exploitative conditions, missing out on education and risking their health and future.
• Despite laws prohibiting child labor under the age of 14, enforcement is weak, and poverty drives families to send their children to work.
• Protecting children from labor is critical to securing their rights to education, health, and a safe childhood.
