In this shot I have tried to capture the pain of the child who is performing dangerous gymnastics in a road in order to earn money for her family. Child labor and exploitation are the result of many factors, including poverty, social norms condoning them, lack of decent work opportunities for adults and adolescents, migration and emergencies. These factors are not only the cause but also a consequence of social inequities reinforced by discrimination. Those children are forced by hunger to perform in the streets.
