Dhaka, Bangladesh. 10th June 2013. These children, all under the age of 14, are seen working in a dry colour factory. These workers work long hours, without any masks and earn a poor wage. The dust and unhealthy environment causes many types of respiratory diseases amongst such workers. These dangerous working conditions echo the recent tragedy of the Rana Plaza building collapse in Savar, Bangladesh. Arif a 12 year old boy has been working in this factory over 2 years and earns (USD $ ) per day. Credit: zakir hossain chowdhury zakir/Alamy Live News
