As well as the thousands picking through rubbish, there's a hidden army of young laborers who work behind closed doors?
This is it here. God. Can you hear the furnace going even a child-sized entrance?
Can Jill had brought me to a glass recycling factory where they make bottles for export to South Korea?
Down here. [I] love your hunger very nice to meet you
Ten-Year-old Jahangir works a full ship here every day for the equivalent of 30 pence
Enough to buy his family a small bag of rice
Why did you put that one in there?
It's no good. It's broken
basically quality control
There was more than 40 degrees centigrade outside and the heat standing here by the furnace was almost unbearable
You coming from the planet. They're really choking
Are we just here for a few minutes?
So he's taking us up to see where he?
Where he sleeps with his mom and his sister he sees
Sister is barefoot
in a glass factory
Nobody get it to get it. That's [moot] rickety. Isn't it?
So jack your [work]. Where do you sleep [don't] even welcome together?
This is his bed. Just right here and
This is it just your family here, or are there more people who live here?
Many of us live here 10 or 12 people
There are quarrels
People sometimes eat other people's food and this causes arguments
You find it hard working in a factory
Yes, if I had a home, then I wouldn't have needed to work. I could have gone to school my [mum]. Would have worked
Why did mum want you to come and live here? Why didn't mom want you to come to the glass factory?
because of Hunger
Factory owners like to Employ children because they're cheap they have nimble fingers and they complain less than adults
So shift change new operator is operating in your cell [if] your arm
It seems obvious that these children should be stopped from working
But the older laborers wanted me to understand what can happen when children here are prevented from earning a living
Put it up you see there are foreigners. Who come here and they stop the children from working?
I was crazy died like a turkey came up
If we throw the children out of work, what are they going to live on if they don't work they'll die of hunger
So they go out begging and stealing
They'll do anything for their hungry
Hunger drives them to do many things
These men all started working between the ages of [nine] and [Eleven]
Child labor is a harsh fact of life in Bangladesh
Nearly 5 million [children] here on vital [income] for their [families] or themselves
But Jahangir's boss has been persuaded to give him a few hours off each day to visit a special
[center] for working children run by Unicef the United Nations children's fund
This is the center. Oh my good thought oh
my goodness hello
sir welcome
Janki you've got a lot of friends here one good one. This is my friend
The center gives working boys a free lunch [a] shower and space to learn and have fun
Most of all it gives them the chance simply to be children
There's a few good shots here there what they've all had a lot of practice at me
As a hangar tell us, what do you like about coming to the center? I like to play the Karen board
This is your favorite thing about the center playing this game
What about your friends?
Yes, my friends are here with me and I like that too
Western campaigners and Fashion firms have forced bangladeshi clothing factories to stop employing child labor
But this has meant many families going hungry and many children have taken Riskier jobs
Fasano ahmed from unicef says they've been forced to accept child labor as a necessary [evil], but in thousands of centers across the country
Unicef is now teaching children skills to break the cycle of Poverty
Some people watching this might be surprised that you're not working to try and close down
The Factories where the children are working?
What would you say in response to that?
We really cannot say that okay stop child labor
at this moment because the reality is that
many of the families are really dependent on the earning of the children and if they can have a
safe and working environment, and if they have scope of
Going to school
Some free time for recreation. [they're] having a scope to have a different kind of life
To see me boy having fun
you
