'Crazy Auntie' lets her pedals provide a profitable ride

As Bangladesh's only female rickshaw driver, Mosammat Jasmine may be a feminist icon. But to the passengers she cycles through the streets of Chittagong, she is known as "Pagli Khala" (crazy auntie).

"I do it to make sure my sons don't go hungry and they get a decent education at a good school," said the 45-year-old mother of three during a break at the Chittagong bus station.

"Allah has given me a pair of hands and legs to work with. I don't beg - instead I earn a living by using his gifts."
