When a photo story needs its caption…

After her parents died when she was 11, this girl had no other option but to live on the streets. She was soon taken into a gang who got her addicted to drugs and forced her to become a child prostitute. This night she told us about the dangers she faced, how one man had strangled her and she thought she was going to die. She now prostitutes for the price of a take away cup of coffee.
