In Dhaka,every morning you see thousands of women in the streets making their way to work. And with every step they take, Bangladesh takes a step towards becoming Bangladesh.
Bangladesh,with a very small amount of land & a LOADS of people,is one of the biggest clothing export country. Even with crappy political situation & filthy politicians ,what Bangladesh has achieved in these recent years is truly remarkable. And I must tell you no kind hearted politician is behind it. The people of Bangladesh are behind it.
I met a woman in the airport a few days ago when I was waiting for my flight. She is 30 something, unmarried , works in Oman as a maid. She has been working their for 2 years and only got one 2 months leave in these 2 years. She was looking for a certain airline and none of the staff was helping her. They were demanding money from here for no reason. There was contempt in their voice. She seemed really tensed. I have noticed this thing many times before. People who work in the middle east are often mistreated. Some obnoxious snobs think those people are good for nothing because they clean houses & works at the airport there. One thing they don't know,the remittance is what has kept the country running. They have sacrificed their families ,their homes just to ensure a better future for themselves, and a better future for their country. And the way they are treated is shameful. Same thing applies for garment workers. They are considered to be slaves and often disrespected. They might not be highly educated, but they are better than those educated ones who know how to rob the country and also be respected for it.
It is high time we realized who is running the country who and who is not. It is high time we gave respect to those who deserve it.
