Courtesy of Saikat MojumderSajila is a working mother living in the Korail slum of Dhaka City, Bangladesh.
Like most slums, the Korail slum lacks access to clean water, reliable electricity, and health services. The slums are formed on government owned land and those living there do so illegally. Saikat Mojumder is a photographer who spent time with Sajila and her family, beginning when she was four months pregnant. His photos depict the harsh conditions women are forced to endure during pregnancy and birth. Mojumder's photos were published on blog Pineapple And Milk. With his permission, we are republishing them here along with his comments.
