First time ever, Dhaka lit fest 2023 Witness as a speaker
Today at Dhaka Lit Fest 2023, Arian Arif (Founder & Executive Director of Mojar School) along with other panelists had an amazing conversation where they talked about our responsibility in order to reduce the ratio of street children in light of Rubaiya Murshed's "Nobody's Children".
Street children in Dhaka demonstrate enormous resilience in coping with the vulnerabilities and adversities that are systemically forced on them. The numbers of street children grow every year, and the post-Covid rise in their numbers cause higher concerns.
These panelists explored the responsibilities of the state, society and non-state actors in addressing the issue and in giving them back a part of their childhood.
In response to a question, Arian Arif said that, individually we have many works to do for the betterment of these children. We can support them by giving them time and showing them respect. It is not always necessary to donate; sometimes it is sufficient to be physically present for them.
Only a collaborative step can ensure their betterment.
