I don't have money to buy bread- Therefore, I beg- and I ask would anyone be able to give any arrangement ??

This is a very common scenario in Bangladesh. My heart breaks to see them. I am not rich enough to solve the financial issues. I cross on the way. When I was in England, Facebook and TV advertisements gave me an idea that the country's developed a lot but now I am here again. Still thousands of beggars on the street, everywhere. 

I have taken this photo from a residential area- the man can't walk. As many as I came across yesterday mostly disabled, old, young children and obviously some young people as well. I have seen a very young lady having 3 children begging. She wouldn't be more than 22. When I ask her why are you begging!! She answered," my man left me and I have 3 young children with me. If I go to work who will babysit my children. I don't have money to buy food for them - and I beg to survive".  Some say I have no hands to work, no legs to walk- what else can I do???


A country where there are many NGOs, getting a remote guide, government association to deal with defenceless population, why even now these people beg!! This is the crude reality that nobody cares.

 All I can address is - Everybody should contribute to change society to make it comfortable for every individual. We can assume our part, everybody ought to accomplish something, whether it's locally and all around.
There are two sides to the story or maybe more than two. My question is, "why they beg? From were so many disabled people are coming? How they got disabled? Why they don't have limbs? When I was thinking about this issue I got very confused. I questioned me and many, they have mixed opinions. I also have seen some documentaries and newspaper reports telling shocking stories. Whether they're born disable and there could be stories behind it! I feel extremely bad to talk about the very poor population in this way but I couldn't stop ignoring this fact. Because I am a part of this unfortunate nation. I might hide there abroad, can change my living standard- what about them!

United Nations definition of poverty: “Fundamentally, poverty is a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means a lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. It means not having enough food and clothing for a family, not having a school or clinic to go to, not having the land on which to grow one’s food or a job to earn one’s living, not having access to credit. It means insecurity, powerlessness and exclusion of individuals, households and communities. It means susceptibility to violence, and it often implies living in marginal or fragile environments, without access to clean water or sanitation”. “Almost half the world, over 3 billion people, lives on less than $2.50 a day. The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest people combined. Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. Less tha...

EW2A - Economic Waste to Asset

Indeed, even in these technological advanced social orders, it is obvious that women, by and large, are disadvantaged all around the world- even in western reality. However, "The Millennium Development Goals" objectives recognised this gender equalization/balance and strengthening of women in the policy documents. The challenges not just started with employment but to empower them with education and training, "the economic freedom". Human Development Report 2010 focusing on a  key target of the economic  improvement of both genders. It targeted principally and on a very basic level about every individual (both the genders).  “People are the real wealth of a nation”. My focus on this writing principally is on challenges that women face in Bangladesh to participate in economic activities. Though some of them are country-specific, studies have demonstrated that employment of women in South Asia is lower than any district on the planet, maybe aside from the Mi...
