An audio slideshow about the life of Rwandan prostitute Ancille Mukabisangwa.
Ancille grew up in Gikongoro in Rwanda, but had to flee with her husband during the genocide. In one of the refugee camps she gave birth to her daughter and lost her husband at the same time. When she came back to Gikongoro she couldn’t find the rest of her family, who were scattered all over the country in different refugee camps. With no other means of supporting herself of her daughter she slipped into prostitution.
The slide show was produced by Simon Sticker from Flow Media for the Rwandan NGO Medsar.
