The condition of the forlorn tea workers depict many kinds of abuse, discrimination and deprivation that are very difficult to overcome. There are constitutional safeguards,laws and mechanisms intended to ensure human dignity, but for the tea workers human dignity is only a dream. Their conditions violate the maximum provisions of the Bangladesh Constitution, different instruments, laws and rules that commit social, economic and human dignity. The SAARC Social Charter, in the hands of the South Asian States, upholds the same commitment. It’s implementation is a big challenge indeed.
