07 January 2025, Bangladesh, Narayanganj: Labourers in Narayanganj, Bangladesh carry piles of bricks weighing more than 15 kg on their heads in a brick kiln. They earn less than 1 USD only after carrying 1,000 bricks. Brickfield's environment can be stated as a new form of modern slavery. Long working hours under the scorching sun, massive accumulation of dust, the risk of falling from the trucks and leer más piles of bricks, and carrying excessive loads pose serious health hazards for the workers.
