Lead poisoning in children continues to be the most common cause of death in Bangladesh. With a view to that, Youth urged regulation of total lead paints through a human chain organized by Environment and Social Development organization – ESDO on 23rd October 2021 in front of the Bangladesh National High Court followed by a rally that ended in front of Raju Vashkor at Dhaka University.

Hundreds of students, including members of the ESDO Team, Girls Guides, and other volunteers from other universities, joined the human Chain with banners, placards, and festoons, and raised their voices in support of a world free of lead paint.

This year, ESDO is observing the 9th International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week ILPPW-2021 in Bangladesh. The main focus of this event is to highlight the need to accelerate progress towards the global phase-out of lead paint through regulatory and legal measures.
