Go Straight Home

Reba is 14 and she lives with her family in Dhaka. Often on her way to school she is being followed or harassed by groups of boys who shout after her. It's part of everyday life in Bangladesh for young girls. In Reba's school class four girls have already been forced to marry and only one of the girls married out of love. Reba's family might have to marry her off too if they can't afford her education. Her mother wants her to continues her studies and get the education that wasn't possible for her. Reba wants that too. Reading in the papers about the acid attacks and rapes that are happening to women on the streets scare her, but she won't give up.
