Here is a story of a little 10 year old girl who works in a factory in Bangladesh. She works there 12 hours a day, six days a week.
Sitting on a bench alongside her co-workers, Asma operates a powerful cutting device in the poorly-lit premises for up to 12 hours a day.
The safety pins are thinly cut and the machine she operates is cumbersome, heavy and dangerous.
Despite being blessed with nimble fingers and remarkable manual dexterity, if Asma makes one mistake she could easily lose a finger to the gigantic metal puncher she handles so professionally.
The video is quite telling, here is the link:
