Sujon Adikary Bangladesh
"Brick Field Worker"
"Bangladesh is situated on the deltas of several large rivers passing into the Bay of Bengal. The country’s location on this alluvial plain means there is little natural rock available for use in construction, necessitating use of bricks as the primary material for building. Bricks are used both directly and broken up into coarse aggregate for the production of concrete. To supply this need there are approximately 5000 privately operated brick kilns within Bangladesh, including 1000 around the capital, Dhaka. Unfortunately, brick kilns have severe negative consequences for health and the environment, across local and global scales. The kilns emit large quantities of environmental pollutants into the atmosphere causing harmful impact on agricultural yields, climate and health.\r\n\r\nNearly one million people of brick fields work for 12-14 hours a day, six days a week, lacking basic human rights and access to social security."
