A group of people, predominantly women, are marching on a paved road in Dhaka, Bangladesh, holding a large banner and numerous placards. The scene suggests a labor rights protest or demonstration taking place during the daytime under clear weather. Many participants are wearing red attire, some with red headbands, and several are raising their fists in solidarity. Bangladeshi flags are also visible among the crowd. In the background, there's a modern pedestrian overpass with a green roof, alongside brick and concrete buildings, indicating an urban setting. A yellow pickup truck is partially visible on the right side of the road. The central large banner, held by multiple individuals, features the Bengali slogan "মহান মে দিবস অমর হোক" (May Day be immortal). It also lists several demands in Bengali, including: "Ensure living wage," "Ensure death-free safe workplaces for all workers," "Maternity leave of 6 months must be provided in institutional-non-institutional sectors," "Ensure the right to form free trade unions in all factories including EPZs," and "Implement ILO Convention 190 to prevent sexual harassment and violence at work." The banner credits "awaj আওয়াজ ফাউন্ডেশন," "সম্মিলিত গার্মেন্টস শ্রমিক ফেডারেশন," and "বাংলাদেশ লেবার কংগ্রেস (বিএলসি)" as organizers. Smaller red and white placards held by the protestors display various messages, some in English like "Wage crisis = Climate crisis" and "Ensure 6 months Maternity leave." Other Bengali slogans visible on signs include calls for "Enact strong policies for the safety of migrant workers," asserting that "Climate crisis is workers' crisis," demanding "6 months maternity leave," and advocating for "Stop surveillance on us using technology!" The repeated phrase "দুনিয়ার মজদুর-এক হও এক হও" (Workers of the world, unite, unite!) is also seen. The overall atmosphere conveys determination and advocacy for improved worker conditions and rights.
