GARMENT WORKERS SITTING IN ROAD BLOCKING TRAFFIC in Mastar Bari, Sreepur, Gazipur, Bangladesh. There were police on either side of them. We had to take a detour returning from Mymensingh. With this incident and Dhaka traffic we spent almost 6 hours on the road.
GARMENT WORKERS leaving factory in Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. In Dhaka there are at least 40,000 factories, hiring 2 million workers of which 80-90% are women. A 13 yr. old worker locks herself in the bathroom or goes on the rooftop when the Child Labor inspectors come because she doesn’t want to lose her job. She is the main supporter of her family at $32 per month. They now only like to hire the tall young girls because they look earlier. So, the short young girls can’t find jobs to help support their families.
