FORMER SEX WORKERS quilt two layers of old saris to make throws, etc.
Yesterday, I visited the Bengal Gallery in Lalmatia, Dhaka, Bangladesh. There were photos featuring several issues including child labor. It mentioned that 17.5% of the children between age 5-15 work with the average income a max of $10 per month whereas the average adult laborer receives $50 per month. In the brick factories they get paid $0.90 for every 1,000 bricks they handle! Those working in the silver cooking pot factories get 200 taka ($2.80) per week working 10 hrs per day. In this poor country the families are desperate for food and so send their children to work, sacrificing the opportunity for education, etc.
