Bangladesh is a poor and over-populated country. It has more than 140 million inhabitants, 55 million of which are less than 18 years old, and a high urban population growth rate (over 6% p.a. for the last two decades). There is increased poverty in urban areas (out of Dhaka’s population of 9.3 million, an estimated 5 million live below the poverty line), with 90% of the urban poor living in single room very poor quality accommodation. In addition, thousands of poor children in Dhaka are homeless and live on the streets, and during daytime they run around looking for alms. Most of them live through begging money or sometimes as street urchins. They cannot afford to buy three meals per day and are seen as wearing torn clothes searching for some alms from the people waiting in the traffic jams because of the hectic traffic. Education for them is a luxury that they cannot afford. But to top it all, by using the street all day by looking for alms, these children are the most vulnerable group from a road safety perspective, and accidents involving them have become very common in the city. For example, already in the first week of 2019, two garment workers were hit by a rushing bus and were killed instantly. The real street dwellers are these children, and therefore they deserve some attention from a road safety perspective.
