Reportage

Twelve thousand children are smuggled over the Nepal-India border ever year. This is the beginning of their journey into unimaginable forced labour in the sex, manufacturing and performing arts industries. This is a personal project shot off the back of a commission for an anti trafficking organization based in Kathmandu, without whom these images would not have been possible. I would also like to express my gratitude for the input of Gopal, Raju, Dilu and Shailaja all of whom are performing miracles out of dwindling funding and all of whom played a huge role in inspiring me to work positively and to see hope and beauty in the least obvious of places.
