Bangladeshi Weavers Seek UNESCO Heritage Tag

In Bangladesh, there are skilled weavers who make beautiful sarees called Tangail sarees.

These sarees are very special and are worn during important festivals and weddings.

The weavers want the United Nations to recognize their craft as an important part of world culture.

This is because they want to keep their tradition alive and teach it to future generations.

However, it's becoming harder for them because the materials they need are getting more expensive, and cheaper machine-made sarees are also available.

The weavers hope that if their craft is recognized, more people will appreciate and support their work.
