To go with Finance-economy-Bangladesh-trade-textile by Julie Clothier
In a picture taken on July 27, 2009, Bangladeshi women work in a garment factory in Narsingdi. Most of Bangladesh's 4,200 garment factories, some of which come under fire from rights groups for shabby health and safety standards, are in cities like Dhaka or Chittagong, meaning workers have to move to urban areas for work. But British woman Samantha Morshed, who created the centre where Suria works and 31 other centres like it across Bangladesh, has a different vision for the country of 144 million people, 40 percent of whom live below the poverty line.
