  Didier Mayhew, France

Saraswati is a Nepalese teenager, living in a slum in the district of Kaski. Her life
conditions are very harsh, due to the crowding of the slum, the lack of privacy and the
domestic violence. Nevertheless, she goes to school every day and manages to do her
homework late at night after taking care of her younger brothers and sisters.
