The abuse and kidnapping of young women and children is a big problem in Bangladesh. Sometimes the children just disappear; sometimes the parents or young women are misled by intermediaries and go voluntarily to another country where they are promised nice jobs and better lives, only to end up as prisoner/slave in the direst of circumstances. Especially in the case of young children it is often very difficult to trace them and get them back. A lot of people in the country do not have anything to gain by exposing such wrongs, and abuse and murder are often ignored or glossed over.

women who enroll in the school for sewing and fine needlework founded by the organisation 'friends for the poor people' learn how to draw patterns,sew and decorate clothing with fine needlework and can go to work as a trained seamstress. all the women that finish the school will find work in a clothing factory or smaller sewing workshop and earn more than half to even twice as much as they would without the education. Some have even started their own sewingshop.
