Five children helping two men push carts loaded with dried bricks inside a brick kiln in Narayanganj’s Bhulta. The children go to the kiln with their parents who work there. Some of the workers there said the children join in the adult’s labour to earn as little as Tk 100. Such informal employment of minors is rampant in the country, with little meaningful action taken to stop it.

Chunks of coral have been used to build an embankment of sorts in front of a hotel on the beach at Saint Martin’s island. Local businesses do this all over the beach as the Department of Environment takes no action to protect the island that exists because of its coral base. The photo was taken recently.
