According to section 46 of the law, working mothers are to be allotted 4 months of maternity leave, 8 weeks of prenatal leave and 8 weeks of postnatal leave . This law has been implemented unevenly in Bangladesh resulting in disparate practices in different industry sectors.

The Labour Act 2006 provides woman whose work is covered by the Act with an entitlement to up to 16 weeks' maternity leave pay at their average daily, weekly or monthly wage.

The term “child labour” is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development. It refers to work that: is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children.

Establish a National Child Labour Welfare Council, participation of non-government organisations and collaboration with different international and national organisations will ensure to declare Bangladesh a hazardous child labour free country.
