A total of 105 children were killed during the recent student-led uprising in July and August, said Social Welfare and Women and Children Affairs Adviser Sharmin S. Murshid.

During a press conference at the Secretariat on Sunday, she announced that each affected family would receive Tk 50,000 as compensation.

The list was finalised by the Health Services Division under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

The monetary grant and a certificate will be distributed on World Children's Day, Monday (October 7), among families of the deceased children—those under 18 years of age.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium.

Additionally, Murshid noted that Tk 82,70,898 has been allocated to assist students injured during the anti-discrimination movement through the Social Service Office and the Upazila Patient Welfare Association.

The ministry is also in the process of securing $5 million from the World Bank to fund rehabilitation and treatment for those affected by the uprising.

Furthermore, she said the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs currently operates 12 daycare centers and is advocating for the establishment of daycare facilities in all government institutions by June 2026.

The government is also exploring the possibility of introducing private sector daycares to enhance employment opportunities and provide essential services.
