Children of poverty: The factory workers as young as FIVE who toil in Bangladeshi recycling plant every day

Compelling photographs show dust-strewn children in recycling plants and making coloured balloons in Dhaka

Minimum working age in Bangladesh is 14, but 93% of child labourers work in small workshops and slip under radar

Last week the city marked the first anniversary of the Rana Plaza garment factory collapse which killed 1,135

Disaster prompted a surge in factory unions and inspections, but many still work in dangerous conditions

Caked in dust and wading through recycled plastic, these are just some of the thousands of children who work illegally in Bangladesh.

More than a million children are involved in dangerous work in the country - despite the minimum working age being 14, according to the International Labour Organisation.

These compelling photographs were taken in the capital, Dhaka, a city where one year ago a garment factory collapsed killing more than 1,100 people.
