  • Kobenda Walemba, his wife Emerance Masca, and their two children stand in an empty room of the small house they rent for $10 a month in Goma, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday December 15, 2008. The couple has been in Goma for three weeks, which they reached after walking for 9 hours after violence broke out in Kiwanja, where they lived. "We saw that if we went to stay in the camp, we would get diarrhea, we would get sick, because of all the people who stay there," explains Walemba. "We had a little bit of money so we found this house. We don't sleep well, we have no food. To find water to drink is a problem. I hope our children can have a good life."

  • Nicole, 16, stands in the doorway of one of the rooms where she meets clients in a brothel in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire on Wednesday July 17, 2013. Nicole started working as a sex worker after running away from home, where her mother used to beat her. She says she can have up to 10 or 20 clients in a day; each of them pays 1000 CFA (2$). "When I started I went for a whole week without using condoms. I was new, I didn't know", she says. "Sometimes the police come to catch us. We have to pay them 3000, 5000 or 10,000 so that they leave us alone. Other times you have to sleep with them." Nicole went to school up to grade 5.
