UNICEF Photo of the Year 2007s

The first place was chosen by Stephanie Sinclair "Child brides". The picture shows that a 40 - year - old man and a 11 - year - old girl got married. It seems that there are cases where girls' parents need money because there are many people who think that women do not need education in Afghanistan.


In other cases, marriage of girls and men who are years away seems to be unlikely to be married.


How are the weddings?


This is the 2nd place, "Girl Boraka" by G M B Akash filming "Child Labor in Bangladesh". A 12 - year - old boy working at a brick factory.


According to UNICEF's estimate, the number of children aged 5 to 14 who work in Bangladesh will be 4.7 million.


Many children are engaged in dangerous work such as a leather shop or a paint factory, whose labor wage is about one third of the general wage of an adult, 60 taka (less than 1 dollar) a day.
