Meet Meem, the nine-year-old factory boss Meem, 9, a factory worker in Bangladesh. Picture: The Star Source: Supplied SHE'S in charge of factory workers sewing clothes for 12 hours a day. She's paid less than $35 dollars a month. And she's a nine-year-old girl. Meem works in a sweatshop on Dhaka Bangaldesh. According to thestar.com , her working days run from 9am until 9pm. She gets an hour off for lunch but spends the rest of the time sitting on a concrete floor in stifling heat. Although she works as a "sewing helper," she sometimes has to take charge and train and supervise new staff. She dreams of one day becoming a sewing machine operator. "When I become a sewing operator, I will make very good shirts," Meem told thestar.com . No one will yell at me. Meem uses the money to help her family. She also collects hair clips. Her favourite saying is 'Sab bhalo' - Bengali for 'it is all okay'. It's an extraordinary outlook on life for a young girl whose future looks to be in this factory, or one just like it. "I want to work in a bigger factory one day ... there is more money," she told thestar.com . Maybe I should stay here always. This is so close to home.
