Jahanara
| Jahanara lives in a slum in the south of the city – she’s 30, a single mum and has seven children. And life’s a struggle
I get up early and cook for my children so they can eat while I’m at work |

She married at only 13 and soon found herself pregnant
We didn’t know about such things.
If we’d been educated, we would have used birth control. |

Kadija
| MUSIC
On the other side of the city leaves factory worker Kadija. She and her husband made the choice to only have a small family and they’re making sure their son gets the best start in life
My son will start school next year but he already has a tutor at home
Kadija has the luxury of choice. When she first got married, she started taking the pill.
My husband brought the pills home and we decided not to have a baby the first year.
I was shy back then. I couldn’t have got it by myself. |
