SHEDAI CAMP, Afghanistan In a sprawling settlement of mud brick huts in western Afghanistan housing people displaced by drought and war, a woman is fighting to save her daughter.
“I am just so desperate. If I can’t provide money to pay these people and can’t keep my daughter by my side, I have said that I will kill myself,” said one mother.
Qandi, 10, was sold into marriage behind her mother’s back. She is just one of the children traded for food by starving Afghan families. Here are their stories.
