« Shanti lives in an earthen village in the north of Calcutta. “If I were a boy, I could have studied. I wouldn’t have got married so young. I’m happy but sometimes I get tired. Girls have so much work to do!”
Going to fetch water, wood for fires, preparing meals, raising children, cleaning the house, washing clothes, milking livestock, selling a bit of rice at the market… And then doing it all again.” »
