Dia de Menina - Why Poverty?

Brazil: A teenager needs space to grow. How much space does a teenager need? What's it like growing up in a tiny flat where the only place you have privacy is the toilet? Hellen Cristina lives in a crammed flat in a densely populated favela. Like all teenage girls, she dreams of a different future, her head crowded with thoughts " I can't believe there are so many in a small head."
