More than 25 million people live in Dhaka, making it one of the largest megacities in the world. Every day, thousands of people migrate to the capital, including an estimated 2,000 climate migrants displaced by the growing impacts of environmental change in rural areas, further fueling the city's rapid expansion. Drawn by hopes of opportunity and a better future, many arrive with dreams in their hearts, only to confront the harsh realities of urban life and become trapped in a relentless struggle for survival. This photograph serves as a powerful reflection of a city from which there is often no turning back—a place where aspirations and hardships coexist in equal measure.
