Bangladesh can lead the call to end child labour in South Asia

In 1998, when 14-year-old Khokon from Bangladesh led the Global March against Child Labour from the front, he became the face of the revolution to end child labour around the world, and the voice of millions of his brothers and sisters across the world that remained unseen and voiceless. When Khokon, a former child labourer, marched on his single leg demonstrating the power of human resolve, the world followed. Twenty years on, as we mark 2021 as the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour, it is only right that we begin with Bangladesh. The UN, while marking the year, called on the governments of the world to take real and urgent action to fulfil its promise to end child labour in all its forms by 2025. With the economic growth and success in achieving education parity that is increasingly making it a regional power, Bangladesh is well placed to lead the fight to end child labour in South Asia.
