Once a week we go out as a group of ladies and visit brothels in order to try to make contact with prostitutes that work on the street. We visit the brothels two by two but while we are on the street there is a larger group of us.

What I see and hear during this work impacts me deeply. The brothels here often look like hairdressers or parlor shops, but often you see pink lights in these shops. The girls are very young, starting with the age of 15.
