Children living in rural area go to Dhaka to find a job in the factory when they finished a primary school. "My father told me to work in Dhaka when I was 10 years old." said a boy, Mominul (13). Most of the factories are dark, dusty, messy, nor sanitation, nor air circulation and so on. Children work for a whole day in the sever condition without going to school.
