Every year in
Bangladesh at least 30,000 children die through
accidents and almost a quarter are drownings. But
burns, traffic accidents and electrocution are also
common causes of childhood deaths and injuries.
Families regard these tragedies simply as a fact of
life. This is the story of nine-year old Shahnaz
whose cousin died while they were out playing in a
local pond. This common fact of life is slowly being
changed. Simple measures such as swimming lessons
and a crèche for young children means that people
like Shahnaz can play safely without putting
themselves in danger.
Part of a 28 x 25-minute documentary series produced
for the BBC. These films can be bought individually
or as a series. |
