...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY-Most of us consider child labor exploitative and therefore, socially unacceptable. The study of child labor is, however, important not only for social reasons but also for economic ones. The impact of child labor on the economy works through its debilitating effect on education which is important component of human capital. The participation of children in work in home and outside is often considered to be one of the important reasons for low school enrolment in Bangladesh. An important effect of child labor is on demographic development in a country. It is generally found that poor countries with high rates of population growth have higher incidence of child work. In this study, the actual child laborers in Bangladesh are 3.2 million (ILO, report/ BBS, 2006) which age is 5-17years. About 421000 are domestic workers. The children are bound to do hazardous toils because of poverty. More than 1.3 million children work in hazardous situation. The Bangladeshi children deprived every winding of social and international aspects such as in trafficking, industrial works, household labors, early marriage, biri factory, forcedly prostitution, begging, less wages, helping in the vehicle etc. though the government of Bangladesh has taken many initiatives to prevent child labor and violation of child rights. But the achievement is not satisfactory, in this connection much phenomena are concerned; poverty is one of them. So, government, NGOs and public should take proper step...

...population at risk. Though among these, Prevention is the most effective to reduce or eliminate human trafficking it is least utilized. Perhaps lack of mechanisms by which to measure success or outcome of prevention activities is the cause of this. Still some NGOs are working on it. In fact NGOs have been the pioneers in bringing this invisible crime into the public domain by their continuous efforts. Government is now also concerned of it because of international pressure and concern. Government initiatives give emphasis on prosecution but it is a globally chained crime where prosecute real offender is tough. Rather prevention is the possible measure to stop trafficking. It is the only pre-trafficking measure which may help a young girl or child not to be victim of trafficking. NGOs are the only actor at grass root level working for prevention so it is necessary to see- actually what they are doing and has any change took place. . The study explains the definition of trafficking, causes and consequences of trafficking. It also suggest some recommendations for the preventio9n of this problem. Key word: Woman, Children, Trafficking. Chapter-1 Introduction In women and children trafficking is at present a big global issue. This trade results in unimaginable mental and physical abuse, loss of human dignity, violation of countless human rights. It is a modern form of slavery, violates national and international laws against rape, torture, abduction and murder. In recent years...

...them to an uncertain future. SUFFERINGS OF THE WOMEN DUE TO FOOD PRICE HIKE Though women used to work for securing their households and contribute positively to the GDP of the country, they are more vulnerable and insecure in any situation. They are victimized for nutritional effects of high food prices. Women proved themselves as ‘shock absorbers during food crisis reducing their own food intake and allow more food for other household members.19 From the group discussion in Dhaka with women it reveals that food intake is not sufficient for them to gain enough strength to work. Oxfam study (2013; 2014) findings show that women suffer more than any other family member of the household. The female household members become vulnerable basically in three ways that has been observed in all these three study areas (Dhaka, Sylhet and Chittagong). Firstly, women take less food; Secondly, they take rotten food which is leftover or other members would not Sylhet Chittagong Dhaka (Source: Impact of food price hike on food security of the Poor urban population, A Study of Oxfam in Bangladesh, 2013 &2014) consume and lastly, starvation that sometimes happened to sacrifice food for a meal for distributing among others. The reality is that women face malnutrition in each stage of their lifecycle that have enormous health effects20. The reasons behind women’s poor food consumption is not only associated with their primary responsibility for the management...

The number of street children in Bangladesh is quite big and until recently the incidence and distribution of street children at both national and regional levels was not known. Their reality in terms of their working, living and health conditions, as well as the degree of hazardousness faced by the street children was also not known. Gathering data on the above issues is very important for planning interventions that would help to know the real situation of street children in Bangladesh. Thus the BBS and the ILO decided to conduct a Base Line Survey of Street Children with the main objective of the survey being to attempt to quantify the number of the street children population at the national level in Bangladesh. This data-collection exercise would generate benchmark data covering different aspects of the realities of Street Children in Bangladesh. BBS and ILO entrusted the FREPD with the responsibility of conducting...

...result of trade liberalisation in Bangladesh. Major Oxford street retailers including Wal-Mart, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, H&M, Zara, Carrefour, Gap, Primark, Marks & Spencer, you name it, all import clothes in bulk from Bangladesh, in return for some of the lowest labour costs in the world, often below minimum wage, if they are paid at all. The pressure to supply mass produced garments to foreign buyers via cheap labour is even higher during times of global economic crisis when prices on the international market are falling. Yet, the bad image these retailer chains have received through many ethical consumption boycott campaigns does not always portray the full picture of this very complex issue. Following my meeting with major buyers based here in Dhaka, I have learned that both Tesco’s and Sainsbury’s have commitments (tho not sufficient),...

It has nurtured some of the most ancient civilizations of this continent. The young country came into existence after a blood-spattered liberation war in 1971. But the pace of growth and development has been impeded by many factors. Bangladesh, as a Least Developing Country (LDC), faces a reputation challenge which is popularly known as its image problem. Bangladesh has gained the image of a country with too many people, too much poverty, too little resources, too frequent disasters and too little ability to change for better. Recently poor law and order, bad investment climate and Islamic terrorism have killed its image more. To remove all the negative aspects and image surrounding Bangladesh and to make it as a beautiful and prospective country it is highly recommended to branding Bangladesh.
