Girl defies surf customs in Bangladesh

“The Cox’s Bazaar beach in Bangladesh is a favourite holiday destination for the country’s new middle class. In this deeply conservative community, however, it is considered shameful for a woman to go to the beach. But one young woman, who is a member of the Rohingya minority from Myanmar, is defying those norms”
