A growing number of children are employed as domestic workers in Bangladeshi households, despite laws and policies discouraging child labor. This practice is reportedly increasing, alongside rising incidents of abuse, violence, and even deaths among these young workers. These children, often tasked with managing entire households, find themselves vulnerable and insecure. While legal frameworks exist to protect children, enforcement remains a challenge, contributing to the escalating exploitation. Human rights activists have expressed concern over the situation and are advocating for greater protection and enforcement of existing laws. The trend highlights a concerning gap between legal protections and the lived realities of many children in Bangladesh.
