HUMAN TRAFFICKING - BURKINA FASO

 

Please view this photo essay on human trafficking for the sex industry in Burkina Faso which was published by The Guardian last week. Images are by photographer Angela Catlin who travelled with me to Ouagadougou - the nation's capital - to report on the issue.

Our trip to Burkina Faso was part funded by the International Network of Street Papers.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
