Tasmina, the First Horsewoman of Bangladesh
Horse racing is a man's sport in Bangladesh but Tasmina Hossain is trying to change that.
Tasmina Hossain comes from a poor family in rural Bangladesh. When she started looking after her uncle's horses, she began to dream of riding them. She's now 12 years old and is the only female in Bangladesh racing horses competitively - in a place where it's very much considered to be a man's sport. Candida Beveridge reports.
