In Bangladesh, the garbage life is a harsh reality for many laborers who toil in unhinged environments for meager daily wages. Often hailing from impoverished backgrounds, they endure grueling conditions sorting through waste to earn a living. Children are unfortunately drawn into this work due to economic desperation, their innocence overshadowed by the need to contribute to their families' survival. It's a cycle perpetuated by poverty and lack of opportunity, highlighting the urgent need for systemic change and support for vulnerable communities.
