The labourers, regardless of gender, earn Tk 7,500 to Tk 15,000 at the end of the month
Coal-unloading from the cargo ships that dock on the banks to Turag River in Gabtoli on the outskirts of Dhaka is one of the few professions in which there is gender parity in terms of pay. Depending on the distance they have to ferry the coal, the labourers, regardless of gender, earn Tk 7,500 to Tk 15,000 at the end of the month. The photos were taken on Saturday.
