70% of children in Bangladesh face discrimination, says Kochi Konther Asar
At least 70% of children in Bangladesh experience some form of discrimination, revealed Kochi Konther Asar (KKA), a children's organization, during a press conference marking 'World Children's Day 2024' and 'World Children's Week.'
Held at the Biswa Sahitya Kendra in Banglamotor, Dhaka, the event outlined KKA's efforts to address critical issues impacting children, including education, health, and rights. The organization emphasized its ongoing commitment to tackling these challenges through targeted programs across the country.
Addressing the media, KKA founder Hemayet Hossain urged for immediate reforms, particularly in rural areas where children remain deprived of basic education. "At an age when they should be attending school, many are burdened with family responsibilities," he said, calling on all sectors of society to contribute to improving the lives of underprivileged children.
