Description : A woman who works in a battery recycling workshop, holds her infant child in Ayena Ghat by river Buriganga on outskirts of Dhaka. Child has a black paint like marl on his forehead to protect him from evil eyes..There are hundreds of other informal factories and workshops inside and on the outskirts of the city of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The industry employs thousands of women and children. All day long women and children break used batteries to get reusable parts and tiny pieces of metal out of them. Once separated, these materials are sent to battery manufacturing factories and workshops that either reuse them or melt them to make other useful materials..Women and children in these workshops face some of the worst condition of life anywhere in the world. None of the children go to school. Although they work hard and need nutritious food, they hardly eat much. It?s amazing that they still look happy and manage to crack a smile every now and then.
