N., 19 years old. Sex worker. DRC, June 2005.

“I work as a prostitute for four years now because I need the money. My family knows what I do and says nothing. I am together with my love (pimp) for seven years already even before beginning this work. He lives here with me. He’s always been against this work but since we have nothing there is no other choice. My friends pushed me into this. I had a child but he died from meningitis.”

From where hunger is green

“Amidst the lushness of dark green maize and banana leaves, children in southern Ethiopia are visibly dying of hunger. Ethiopia is facing a hunger crisis, with an estimated 4.6 million people in need of food, 75,000 of which are children with severe malnutrition. The heavy rain falling almost daily came in June, but too late for the first of two annual harvests.

In this nation of 66 million farmers, poor rains, soaring food prices and one failed crop have contributed to a humanitarian crisis of hunger. With food stocks exhausted, the country has once again become dependent on food aid brought in from elsewhere. - July 2008.”
