THE FACE OF STRUGGLE … For two decades, Firoza Begum has sustained her family by separating iron from re-rolling mill scraps with a magnet. Widowed and now earning only Tk 300 a day, she bears all household expenses alone. Scorching sun, dust and heat from the metals have darkened her face to a copper hue. The photo was taken recently in Dhaka’s Shyampur area. PHOTO: PALASH KHAN
