Child trafficking: Benin and Gabon

In March 2001, photographer Mike Sheil travelled to Benin and Gabon for Anti-Slavery International, documenting the trafficking of children in the region. Human Traffic is the resulting exhibition. It testifies to the extraordinary bravery and courage of children who have been manipulated, deceived, beaten and raped by the adults who enslave them. It reaches behind the headlines, looking at the people who are fighting for these children's rights and asks what can be done to bring an end to this horrific trade.
