Bangladeshi Laborers On Brickfields


In Bangladesh, they are visible everywhere. The tall chimneys encircling the city, beside the countryside, and along the rivers, spew gray smoke into the atmosphere. Here, millions of bricks burn. However, the environment and the workforce bear a heavy price for it. Bangladesh, a country of millions, is quickly becoming more urbanized. The method used to make almost all bricks dates back 150 years; it involves mixing dirt with water, shaping the mixture into bricks using wooden forms and letting it dry in the sun before burning it in ancient kilns. Nearly all of the work is done by hand. Workers from Bangladesh's rural areas, spanning all ages, frequently spend months working in the brickmaking industry. There is erratic payment, and the labor labor is demanding and tedious. Millions of workers are unemployed for the remaining five to six months of the year because brickmaking only occurs during the dry season. While some continue to be unemployed, others work sporadic jobs as day laborers or farmers. All ages of men, women, and kids are visible at work at the plant. Bangladesh emits very little greenhouse gas, but it is more severely affected by climate change than practically any other nation in the world. Nevertheless, the ecology is harmed by the emissions from the brick kilns. It has been established that the nation's air quality is hampered by the collection of traditional kilns. The government and neighborhood organizations have been attempting to implement sustainable technologies and "clean" brick kilns.


Domestic Worker


The story of a Bangladeshi domestic worker leaving the country with dreams of a better life and returning in a hospital stretcher or worse, a coffin, appears on our newspaper columns and TV headlines quite often. About 3,800 Bangladeshis died while working abroad last year. More than 900 female migrant workers returned to Bangladesh after falling victim to abuse in the first eight months of 2019 alone. In this article, let us focus on the structural impediments that act as tools for thousands of migrant workers' plight. There are two major agents on both sides of the border: the recruitment agencies in their home country and employers in the host countries.


The Holy House of Bangladesh: Baitul Mukarram


Bangladesh National Mosque used to be a family Mosque. 40,000 people can pray at the same time. let's know the unknown about the biggest Mosque in Bangladesh and one of the 10th largest Mosque in the world "The Holy House, Baitul Mukarram". In the heart of Dhaka, where the echoes of spirituality meet the contemporary pulse of a dynamic city, an architectural gem that seamlessly blends the sacred silhouette of the Kaaba of Mecca with the timeless principles of Mughal architecture. Architect Abdulhusein M. Thariani completed the design of the mosque In 1959. The shape of Kaaba's height is 99 feet from the ground level. Mukarram was built in the center point of new Dhaka and old Dhaka 8.30 acres of land. It also includes the complex, shops, offices, libraries, and parking within. The tale of Baitul Mukarram's inception is woven with the threads of generosity and vision. the owner of the Bawany Jute Mills, Haji Abdul Latif Bawany proposed to Major General Omrao Khan, to build a grand mosque in Dhaka. Omrao Khan helped with building such a mosque. According to the editor and historian Sharif Uddin Ahmed, " Let Abdul Latif Bawani "Built the foundation stone for the construction of the mosque on January 27, 1960.Before the mosque was built in 1959, Abdul Latif Bawani and his nephew Yahya Bawani formed the 'Baitul Mukarram Mosque Society'.After the foundation stone was built tack Two years to almost complete the Mosque in 1962, However, in the year 1968, the entire work was completed.When the Mukarram was built Bangladesh used to be part of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in the 1960's. 40 years after the construction, the Mukarram needed to be extended. In the year of 2008 with the help of The Saudi government extension happened. The ground floor of this eight-story mosque has a market and a warehouse. Prayers are offered on every floor from the second floor to the sixth floor. And the khatib or imam leads prayers from the second floor. On the north side of the third floor, there is a facility for women to pray. 1500 women can pray there together.The mosque can be entered from the north, south, and east. The Mughal architectural gem is vastly shown in both Interior and exterior. Interior was designed to introduce more light and air to the prayer hall roofless.The Mihrab of the hall is rectangular instead of semi-circular and the prayer hall also has two premises. The garden's layout is mostly influenced by Mughal gardens. However, unlike the classic Mughal gardens, which symbolize the Islamic Heaven, this garden does not contain the Char-Bagh system, perhaps because there isn't enough space for one because of that reason during the time of extension the garden was sacrificed for more space to pray.


Women In Bangladesh


The status of women in Bangladesh has been subject to many important changes over the past few centuries. Bangladashi women have made significant progress since the country's independence in 1971, where women in the region experienced increased political empowerment for women, better job prospects, increased opportunities of education and the adoption of new laws to protect their rights through Bangladesh's policies in the last four decades. Still, women in Bangladesh continue to struggle to achieve equal status to men due to societal norms that enforce restrictive gender roles as well as poor implementation of laws that were set to protect women.


Dreams on the Pavement: The Street Kids of Bangladesh


Invisible Lives Amidst the bustling streets of Bangladesh, a silent struggle unfolds. Street kids, overlooked by society, navigate their world with resilience unseen by many. Forgotten Innocence These children, robbed of a carefree childhood, find solace in the streets, their playground and their refuge, yet fraught with dangers lurking in every corner. Bond of Brotherhood Together, they form bonds stronger than blood, supporting each other through the harsh realities of life on the pavement. Chasing Dreams Amidst poverty's grip, they dare to dream, their aspirations painted against the backdrop of uncertainty, yet burning bright with hope. These resilient souls are the unsung heroes of the streets, their stories echoing the resilience and untapped potential within every child.
