Contents/Summary
- Summary
- ‘2 Girls’ tells the story of Lota and Tigist, two girls living in two very different countries, Bangladesh and Ethiopia. They are, however, linked by the same journey; both born in rural areas facing poverty and abuse, their only option was to run away. Their next destinations were the mega-cities of Dhaka and Addis Ababa. They embark on parallel, harsh journeys through which they meet their destinies. In Dhaka, young girls like Lota work in garment factories, which are a sort of slammer, exposed to every kind of imposition and restriction. In Addis Ababa, young girls like Tigist can quickly fall into sex work on the streets or in hotels. Yet, despite their tough upbringing, both girls reveal an inner strength and great dignity.
