  • Description: In Bangladesh's brick kilns, workers face severe exploitation and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change. Over a million laborers endure 15-hour days, six days a week, suffering from heat exhaustion, dehydration, and heatstroke. Earning only Tk 100 for 1,000 bricks, they lack basic rights, protective measures, and drinking water. Rising heatwaves increase mortality and reduce productivity, highlighting the urgent need for improved conditions and health protections amidst escalating climate challenges.
