Caring for 35 children no-one wants

Hazera Begum lives in the capital city of Bangladesh, Dhaka. She knows from her own traumatic personal experience that the children of sex workers can have a rough time. They're often shunned, end up on the streets or in the same trade as their mothers. So Hazera looks after as many as she can - 35 at the current count - all living in her home. For some, it's the only chance they'll have to get fed, clothed and educated. Outlook's Candida Beveridge went to meet her.
