Bangladesh observes National Children’s Day on March 17. Since 2009, this day has been celebrated across the country to commemorate the birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Bangabandhu formulated the Children Act 1974 to provide primary education for all children. Later, his political party, Bangladesh Awami League followed in his footsteps and is working towards Bangabandhu’s commitment to transforming the country into a haven for children. Since 2008, the Government of Bangladesh has been working towards the goal of creating a digital Bangladesh, fostering information technology and inclusive growth. The question is, does this transformation of digital Bangladesh miss out on the most vulnerable ones – the street children?
