A mother in Ramnaghar, Varanasi, India, feeds her baby in the doorway of her home which, along with seven neighbouring houses, is also used at night as a cheap brothel. Monah has a husband but he does not support her and her family has shunned her so she has to prostitute herself to make money to feed her children. "We are very poor,” Monah explains, “and when the men come at night we put our children under our beds (to keep them safe)."Ramnaghar, Varanasi, India.© Ingetje Tadros
