Women And Children Work At The Hazaribagh Toxic Leather Tannery In Dhaka, Bangladesh

DHAKA, BANGLADESH – MARCH 21: A woman is seen working at the Hazaribagh toxic leather tannery on March 21, 2014 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Hazaribagh is ranked among the 30 most polluted places in the world. Every day, 15,000 m3 of waste and toxic sludge are released and accumulate in the middle of houses. They flow directly into the river untreated. It is therefore not surprising that the river crossing the city, the Buriganga, is the third most polluted river in the world. Residents wash and do their chores yet in this river. PHOTOGRAPH BY Mohammad Asad / Pacific Press / Barcroft India UK Office, London.
