Winter greetings

Fresh from the hills,

Bringing you the greetings of winter.

It’s from a bright sunny day, on my way back from Keokaradong (official highest peak of Bangladesh).

Woman working at field

Women mostly work on the family crop lands.

They spend a large portion of the day taking care of cattle or poultry,  kitchen gardening.

Women are also hired as daily labourers and spend on an average, more than six hours a day on such work.

Besides, child labor and increased rate of school drop out these kind of unplanned industrialization are creating threat for the ecological balance and causing suffer to the whole community tremendously.
