Street children in Bangladesh
Everybody has some idea about the street children in Bangladesh. The real picture of these street children is very pathetic. They have no place to live in. They sleep on the streets. Sometimes they move aimlessly. Some of them are engaged in difficult jobs for earning their livelihood. They are also found begging on the streets. They may have parents. But their parents do not take care of them. They do not get the opportunity to go to school. They are completely illiterate. Sometimes they are subjected to physical punishment. In fact, they are deprived of all sorts of child rights.
It is a matter of great regret. Today's child is tomorrow's future. So all of us, including the government, should take necessary steps so that they can enjoy their legal rights.
