World Day Against Child Labor exposes utensil factories
Sunday, June 12th, 2016, marked the fourteenth annual World Day Against Child Labor. According to the International Labour Organization, there are still 168 million children in today's workforce. This year, the children of Bangladesh's utensil factories were brought into the spotlight.
These young boys, all under the age of 12, work in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka for less than $5 a week. In 2014, the average Bangladesh income was $1,086.8. The boys work tirelessly to take home less than half of that. Covered in debris from head to toe, the boys have very few moments to indulge in carefree fun.
