Children of women, who are mostly labourers, play on a discarded plastic traffic barrier in Suhrawardy Udyan yesterday. The government inaugurated the child rights week yesterday with the aim of ensuring a healthy environment for children so they can get an improved life and bright future. Photo: Anisur Rahman
